Mogeely ( Irish: Maigh Dhíle) [2] is a village located in County Cork, Ireland. As of the 2016 census, it had a population of 389 people. [1]
Mogeely lies in East Cork, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Castlemartyr off the N25 national primary road. [3] Mogeely railway station was, until it closed in the 1970s, a stop on the Cork to Youghal railway line. The nearest train station is now Midleton railway station.
Located within a largely rural area, Mogeely hosted the National Ploughing Championships in 2005. [4] Local employers include the Dairygold Co-Operative Society, which operates two cheese processing plants in the area. [5]
The Pine family, originally English, were the main landowners here from the 1580s to the early 1700s. [6] Henry Pine was granted Mogeely under Queen Elizabeth I, holding it as a tenant of Sir Walter Raleigh. During the serious disturbances in Munster in 1598, he fled back to England, but later returned to Mogeely. [7] His grandson, Sir Richard Pyne, was Lord Chief Justice of Ireland from 1695 to 1709. [8] Their home, Mogeely Castle, no longer exists. [9]
