Monageer (Irish: Móin na gCaor),[1] or Monagear, is a small village situated in the centre of County Wexford, in Ireland. It is located a few kilometres roughly northeast of Enniscorthy town.
Monageer village contains a shop, a pub, a primary school, and a Roman Catholic church (with adjoining cemetery).[2] It also contains the local GAA club Monageer Boolavogue which was founded in 1886. A sensory path and grotto walk was opened in 2018.[citation needed]
