Mogeely (Irish: Maigh Dhíle)[2] is a village in County Cork, Ireland. As of the 2016 census, it had a population of 389 people.[1] The village is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.[2]
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]
