Mountnugent, or Mount Nugent, historically known as Dalysbridge[1] (Irish: Droichead Uí Dhálaigh),[2] is a village and townland in southern County Cavan, Ireland.

[3][4][5] Although the village is in County Cavan, the Roman Catholic parish of Mountnugent (or Kilbride) is in the Diocese of Meath.

In the Church of Ireland, Mountnugent, or Kilbride Castlecor, is part of the parish of Castlepollard in the diocese of Meath and Kildare.

During the launch of Ireland's new postcode system, Eircode, residents were surprised that Mountnugent was counted as part of County Meath, and that the Irish name was now a literal translation of the English name - "Sliabh an Nuinseannaigh".

Trout stocks began to decrease in the early 1970s[18] as pollution from various sources including agriculture entered the lake.
