MUINE BHEAG

County : Carlow

Muinebheag.jpg

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The gold and ermine are from the arms of the local family Bagnal (Muinebheag is called Bagnalstown in English). Its Irish language name 'Muinebheag' means 'a little thicket of thorns' hence the upper half of the shield is 'fretty of thorn boughs'.

The main topographical feature of the town is the River Barrow represented by 'a fess wavy azure'. Motto: The town council has always consisted of nine persons ; the curious arithmetical properties of the number nine caused the ancient Greeks to call it 'The irrepressible number'. The motto is displayed in both irish and English.
