Ballylooby
Ballylooby (Irish: Béal Átha Lúbaigh, meaning 'mouth, or pass, of Looby's Ford') is a village in County Tipperary in Ireland. It is in the barony of Iffa and Offa West, and is also a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.
Ballylooby is on the R668 regional road between Cahir and Clogheen, approximately halfway between both towns. It is around 7 kilometres (4 mi) south west of Cahir.
The village links two townlands, Knockannapisha (NE) and Knockane (Puttoge) (SW), the boundary between them being the Thonnoge River.
The village is served by Ringalink community transport and on Sundays only by the Bus Éireann Cork city to Cahir route 245. The nearest railway station is Cahir railway station, 9 km distant by road.
According to Patrick C. Power's Place-names of Decies, the modern parish includes the ancient parishes of Whitechurch, Tubrid and Tullaghorton, also known as Castlegrace, together with a section that had once formed the western part of Rochestown. It extends from the summit of the Galtees in the north to the summit of the Knockmealdown range in the south.
The parish has two churches, located at Ballylooby village and Duhill. The Catholic church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and St Kieran. Mass is also celebrated at the renovated church in Duhill.
The first church built in the village of Ballylooby ran East- West, on the site of the present structure. Its orientation was at right angles to the current building, constructed in 1813 by Rev. John Burke. The site of the old church was too small for the growing congregation, and so an extra twenty-six perches were bought from Patrick Burke. The land deal did not go smoothly and the latter erected a wall within the church and sought writs for trespass against those who crossed it. The heated disagreement lasted for several years but was eventually settled, and the wall removed in due course.
St. Kieran's was remodelled (all but rebuilt), in 1927/1928 by the parish priest M. Walsh with the architect Rudolf Maximilian Butler. It was funded by local subscription, and many of the pews and stained glass windows bear the names of local families that sponsored them.
