Blue Ball, historically known as Pallas (Irish: An Phailís),[1][2] is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland. It is 9 km southwest of Tullamore, at the junction of the N52 and the R357 roads, in the civil parish of Killoughy.[1]
The village's modern English language name derives from the Blue Ball Pub,[3] which is located within Pallas townland. Pallas Lough, also within the civil parish of Killoughy,[4] is a small fishing lake located to the east of the village.
Butterfield Estate, near Blue Ball, hosts an annual agricultural and livestock show, the Tullamore Show.[5][6]
