Oylegate
Oylegate or Oilgate (), or, the older name, (), is a small village in Ireland, located about halfway between Wexford and Enniscorthy towns, in County Wexford. It has a population of 354 (2006 census)〔(Census 2015 )〕
==Name==
The name is usually officially spelled as ''Oilgate'' and this spelling can be found on road signs entering the village and is the common spelling used on maps and by the Central Statistics Office. However, the spelling ''Oylegate'' is found on a plaque on the wall of the village national school dated 1929, and most locals spell it as such.
The Irish name for Oylegate is ''Bearna na hAille'', ''bearna'' meaning gap or gate and ''aill'' meaning cliff, getting its name from the place that the river Slaney breaks through the gap in the cliffs or rocks on its way to Wexford harbour. It would appear that the name Oylegate became anglicised over time and got its name by saying ''aill'' quickly (oila) and gate from the English translation of ''bearna'', gap or gate.
Oylegate is also referred to as ''Maolán na nGabhar'' which is the Irish name for Mullinagore, getting its name from the area of land where goats used to graze (see Mullinagore below). This reference is likely because there is no actual townland recorded as Oylegate and the townland of Mullinagore would have been the more central part of the village consisting of the local church, the old school and a small settlement of houses. The Electoral District (E.D) of Edermine covers all of Oylegate, parts of Glenbrien with Ballyhuskard covering all the remaining townlands (except for Ballycourcy more which is in the E.D of Enniscorthy Rural).
