Galmoy (Irish: Gabhalmhaigh, meaning 'plain of the Ghabhal [River Goul]')[1][3] is a barony in the north western part of County Kilkenny, Ireland.[1][6] It is one of 12 baronies in County Kilkenny.[2] The size of the barony is 162.7 square kilometres (62.8 sq mi).[5] There are 12 civil parishes in Galmoy.[1] While it is named after the village of Galmoy, today the chief town of the barony is Urlingford. Galmoy barony lies at the north-western corner of the county between Fassadinin to the east (whose chief town is Castlecomer), and Crannagh to the south (whose chief town is Freshford). It is surrounded on two sides by counties Tipperary to the west and Laois to the north. The M8 Dublin/Cork motorway bisects the barony. It is situated 121 kilometres (75 mi) from Dublin city and 131 kilometres (81 mi) from Cork city. Galmoy is currently administered by Kilkenny County Council.[4] The barony was part of in the historic kingdom of Osraige (Ossory).
