    Theres a place on the Limerick to Cork road called Newtwopothouse
    Indeed there is also Old Twopothouse up the road.

    In Dublin there is a street called "Mullinahack" not Mullinahack Street or Mullinahack Road, just Mullinahack.

    Emo, Co. Laois

    I can't believe nobody's mentioned Dingle. :D

    Or maybe it's cuz I'm American and when I was there, all my friends kept asking me if there were berries in Dingle...dunno. :p

    Loughshinney in North County Dublin

    Mucker (not sure of the spelling) just outside Tullamore

    Being from that neck of the woods I well remember about 20-25 years ago some wit had altered a sign on the road leading into Stillorgan village to read "Stillorgan - An Mici Marbh"

    Great days.
