Ballymurreen (Irish: Baile Amoraoin), also written Ballymoreen, is a civil parish[1] and an electoral division[2] in County Tipperary, Ireland. It is one of 21 civil parishes in the barony of Eliogarty.
As a Church of Ireland parish, it was in the diocese of Cashel. The ruins of a church are still to be seen in Ballymurreen townland, at the junction of a minor road from Holycross with the R639,[3] but there was no parish church in modern times, members of the established church attending services in the neighbouring parish of Borrisleigh, at Littleton which is located between the exclave of Rathcunikeen and the main part of Ballymoreen.
Electoral division

The code number assigned to the electoral division by the Central Statistics Office is 22062.[4]
At the time of both the 1911 census,[5] the division was smaller than the civil parish of the same name, containing just three townlands (Curraheen, Parkstown and Liskeveen) of the seven that belong to the civil parish; the four other townlands from Ballymurreen civil parish belonged to Littleton electoral division.[citation needed]
At the time of the 2011 census, the total population of Ballymurreen electoral division was 254, of which 150 were male and 104 female.[4] There were 103 dwellings, of which 10 were vacant.[citation needed]
Townlands of the civil parish
Ballymurreen contains seven townlands:
- Ballymurreen,
- Curraheen,
- Liskeveen,
- Newtown,
- Parkstown,
- Rahinch and
- Rathcunikeen (which is actually detached from the rest of the parish, forming an enclave within the neighbouring parish of Borrisleigh).
Together they amount to a total of 2870 statute acres; of these about 500 acres are bog and most of the remainder is used for dairying and tillage.[6]
Castle
The site of Ballymurreen Castle, no longer standing, is just across the road from the ruins of the church and graveyard in Ballymurreen townland.[7]
