Lough Egish

Lough Egish

Lough Egish is a rural area in County Monaghan, Ireland which takes its name from the local lake, Lough Egish. It is situated approximately midway between Ballybay, Castleblayney and Carrickmacross.

In 1910, after the Cooperative movement was set up in Ireland by Mr Plunkett, a cooperative movement was set up by 10 of the locals there which was for may years known as Lough Egish Co-operative and Dairy Society. This prospered for many years and in recent times after it acquired Bailieboro Co Op, changed its name to Lakeland Dairies.Fact|date=April 2007
