Corragunnagalliaghdoo – Brickeens – Muggort’s Bay – Leggs – Wheelam Across Ireland, you’ll find a host of curious and quirky place names.

From the cosy-sounding Hugginstown to the sinister Poisoned Glen, there are place names to make you smile (Ballymacquiff, Ballyhooly, Pass-If-You-Can) or spit out your tea (Fannystown). A whimsical dive into our weird and wonderful place names.
