Moneygall
Moneygall (Irish: Muine Gall, meaning 'foreigners' thicket') is a village in County Offaly, bordering County Tipperary, in Ireland. It is 16 km east of Nenagh, on the R445 road between Dublin and Limerick. There were 374 people living in the village as of the 2022 census. Moneygall has a Catholic church, motorway service station, a car sales and repair centre, a national school, a Garda station and a pub. The nearest Church of Ireland church, Borrisnafarney, is 2 km from the village beside the former Loughton Demesne.
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.
Moneygall is on the R445 regional road and close to the M7 motorway, where Junction 23 provides access to the village.
Bus Éireann no longer provides a service to Moneygall. As of 2019, bus service 854, operated by Local Link Tipperary between Roscrea railway station and Nenagh, called at Main Street and Obama Plaza. The service operates seven days a week.
There is no train station in the village but the nearest stations are in Nenagh, Cloughjordan and Roscrea, all on the Limerick-Ballybrophy railway line, a feeder service to the main Cork to Dublin line, operated by Iarnród Éireann.
The closest airport with scheduled passenger services is Shannon Airport in County Clare.
There is one Catholic national school in the village. The former Church of Ireland school (now used as a parish hall) was built in 1888 beside the R490 Borrisokane turn-off, and closed in 1976, when its pupils were transferred to the neighbouring village of Cloughjordan. An earlier building, constructed around 1800, was previously used as a school. It was then used by the local Church of Ireland community as a chapel of ease until the late 1970s. It has now been converted to a private residence.
