Ballingarry Coal Mines are of great historical importance. Now defunct as a commercial operation, many miners immigrated from Britain in the early days and, later, many local miners emmigrated. The largest open-cast mies in Ireland are surely an item worthy of note. Industrial history, economic history, geanealogy etc are all reasons to keep this article in.
