Timoleague

Timoleague (Irish: Tigh Molaige, meaning 'house of Molaga') is a village in the eastern division of Carbery East in County Cork, Ireland.

The town of Timoleague and much of the adjacent country belonged to the Hodnetts, an English family who settled in the area from Shropshire.

[4] In 1832, the Timoleague parish priest, Reverend Mr. Charles Ferguson, was murdered when trying to collect tithes by force.

The abbey was built on the site of a monastic settlement founded by Saint Molaga in the sixth century.

In 1612, the abbey was sacked by English soldiers who also smashed all of the stained glass windows, but much of the significant architecture remains.

[citation needed] Timoleague Brown Pudding, a type of blood sausage, has been granted Protected Geographical Status under European Union law.

[7] As of the 2011 census, Timoleague had the highest proportion of Polish people of any settlement in Ireland at 25% of the population of the village.

He went on to score 1–1 in the All-Ireland Final against Galway in September of that year and brought the Liam MacCarthy Cup to the streets of Timoleague a few days later.

Regular passenger traffic ceased in 1947 with post-war fuel shortages, and the line was closed completely by CIÉ in 1961.
