Talk:Bagenalstown

message: This should probably be under Muine Bheag, rather than Muinebeag. See logainm.ie for the official name:http://www.logainm.ie/?text=muine+bheag&placeID=3405. 86.42.119.12 (talk) 00:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article currently states: "The English name "Bagenalstown" is more commonly used, but "Muinebeag" is the official name of the town while the variation "Muine Bheag" is more commonly used, and is often used in speech as "Muinebeg"." So, 'Bagenalstown' is more commonly used, and 'Muine Bheag' is (also) more commonly used?? If someone understands the intent, perhaps they would rewrite it more intelligibly. Are there references for any of this?--Yumegusa (talk) 21:27, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

text: ...and the low turnout was most likely because everyone called it Bagenalstown then, and still does. It's a bit like Daingean Uí Chúis / Dingle.Red Hurley (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

message: It is clear from past discussions, the inquorate plebiscite (50% voted 70+/30 to move back to Bagenalstown), and sources, Google, etc., that the common name should be Bagenalstown.  It's certainly the only thing one hears locally / when visiting.  And our policies are clear.  Not Muine Beag, and certainly not Muinebeag, etc.  Are there any real objections?

replies: text:  When I was in Kilkenny (neighbouring) some years ago it was usually referred to as Moneybeg Sarah777 (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As a Carlow woman, I have to say that it will always be Bagnalstown to me! It appears that this is still the most commonly used name for this town? I know that Google hits don't tell the whole story, but I think here it is indicative. Smirkybec (talk) 20:53, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
