| BALLYHOOLY, CO. CORK.- The neat little village of Ballyhooly, which now boasts a railway station of considerable convenience to tourists and travellers in general, stands on the banks of the Blackwater, not far from Mallow, near a shallow part of the river, which was called in Gaelic, according to the Book of Lismore, Ath-ublah, pronounced Ahoola, the Ford of the Apples. "The present name," says Joyce, "was formed by prefixing Bally (town) - Baila-atha-ubhla (now pronounced Blaa-hoola) - the Town of the Apple Ford." |
