Ballymoney
Ballymoney ( )〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a small town and civil parish in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is currently served by Ballymoney Borough Council. The civil parish of Ballymoney is situated in the historic baronies of Dunluce Upper and Kilconway in County Antrim, and the barony of North East Liberties of Coleraine in County Londonderry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/ )〕 It had a population of 10,393 people in the 2011 Census.
Ballymoney has expanded in recent years and a lot of new houses have been built. This is primarily as a result of high house prices in the Coleraine/Portstewart/Portrush 'Triangle' areas shifting first-time buyers to the less expensive Ballymoney area. Ballymoney is located on the main road between Coleraine and Ballymena, with good road and rail connections to the main cities in Northern Ireland, Belfast and Derry.
The Ballymoney area has the highest life expectancy of any area in Northern Ireland, with the average male life expectancy at birth being 78.9 years and 84.8 years for females in years between 2010 to 2012.〔(Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file). )〕 Conversely, it was revealed in 2013 that Ballymoney residents are more likely to die from heart disease than anywhere else in Northern Ireland.〔("Ballymoney 'worst place in NI' for heart disease" ) ''BBC News''〕
The town hosts the Ballymoney Drama Festival, the oldest drama festival in Ireland, which was founded in 1933. The town also hosts the Ballymoney Show, which is one of the oldest agricultural shows in Northern Ireland and was founded in 1902.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ballymoneyshow.org/ )〕
