it is believed to be as it contains a cathedral
Raphoe is in County Donegal in the northwest of the Republic of Ireland. It is a small town, not a city. While it does have a cathedral, a criteria that some people use to categorise a city, nobody in Ireland would regard it as a city. It may be the smallest town in Europe that has a cathedral, but by modern standards, it is certainly not a city. It is physically far too small and has a very small population. There are towns that are much larger than it, including some that also have cathedrals, which would not be regarded as being cities either. For locals using the term "smallest cathedral city in Europe" is a nice way of attracting attention to it, but in reality no one would regard it as a city.
Louth is the smallest county. Carlow is the second smallest. Although it contains the largest city in Ireland, Dublin is the third smallest county. Longford is the fourth smallest. Armagh is the fifth smallest.
You probably meant county not country. In that case the second smallest county in Ireland is Carlow. If you did mean country, the island of Ireland has the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland on it. The Republic of Ireland is bigger making it the second smallest, and Northern Ireland the smallest.
