Finished with a girl in Ireland (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donegal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ireland' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'finished with a girl' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'done' (both can mean completed).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a girl' becomes 'gal' ('gal' can be a synonym of 'girl').
'done'+'gal'='DONEGAL'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for donegal that I've seen before include "County of NW Ireland" , "Northernmost Irish county" , "Lean dog (anag) - Irish county" , "Ireland's northmost county" , "town and county" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
