Ballyhooly

Ballyhooly (Irish: Baile Átha hÚlla, meaning 'town of the ford of the apples')[2][3] is a small village and civil parish in north County Cork, Ireland.

Ballyhooly is home to two pubs, a church, a community centre and a petrol station with a shop.

[citation needed] During the Celtic tiger, several housing estates were attached to the village.

Castle Ballyhooly, a 17th-century manor house outside of the town, was the site of a well-known skirmish during the Irish Civil War, known as the "Ballyhooly Massacre", despite the fact that only one person was killed.

Other books include The Ford of the Apples, which tells the story of the village.
