A little about Moneygall
Moneygall (Irish: Muine Gall, meaning ‘foreigners’ thicket‘)[3] is a village in County Offaly, bordering County Tipperary, in Ireland. It is situated on the R445 road between Dublin and Limerick. There were 374 people living in the village as of the 2022 census.[2] Moneygall has a Catholic church, motorway service station, a car sales and repair centre, a national school, a Garda station and a pub.[4] The nearest Church of Ireland church, Borrisnafarney, is 2 km from the village beside the former Loughton Demesne.[5][6]
The village received international attention for being the ancestral home of Falmouth Kearney, a maternal great-great-great-grandfather of Barack Obama. Obama visited the village in 2011.
Moneygall is in the Dáil constituency of Offaly. It was previously in the constituency of Laois-Offaly and was one term in the Tipperary North Dáil constituency.[7]
