The town had a railway station, until it closed in the 1970s, which had been a stop on the Cork to Youghal line.[1] The nearest train station is now Midleton station.

Mogeely hosted the National Ploughing Championships in 2005.[3]
History

The Pine family were the main landowners here from the 1580s to the early 1700s.[4] Henry Pine was granted Mogeely under Queen Elizabeth I, holding it as a tenant of Sir Walter Raleigh. During the serious disturbances in Munster in 1598, he fled back to England, but later returned to Mogeely.[5] His grandson, Sir Richard Pyne, was Lord Chief Justice of Ireland from 1695 to 1709.[6] Their home, Mogeely Castle, no longer exists.[7]
