== History ==
Older names of the settlement include 'Donoughmore' ((アイルランド語:Domhnach Mór) 'Large Church') and an even more ancient 'Tullabarry' ((アイルランド語:Tualach Bare)) - the name of a Celtic or possibly pre-Celtic tribe which held their seat in the vicinity. There is some debate as to the meaning of Donoughmore. The very first Journal of the Kilkenny Archaeological Society "Old Kilkenny Review, Number 1 (1946–1947). January 1948" has an article about Ballyragget and its environs and states the belief that ''Domhnach Mór'' means Big Sunday and relates to the fact that thousands of people congregated at the now ruined church in Donoughmore for its opening on a Sunday and the name stuck.
