 Charleville, Co. Cork According to logainm.ie, there are 6 streets in Ireland called New Line – four translate as Bóthar Nua (literally New Road) and two as Líne Nua. It advises that all 20 New Road locations translate as Bóthar Nua. I remember hearing Matty sung by Christy Moore years ago and assuming that The Curragh Line was a railway line. Recently I have learnt that the road out of Galway toward Headford is called the Curragh Line. I have heard of line used for railway routes – the Bantry Line; the Cobh Line – but reference to road is new to me It appears that line or líne may have been another word for road– another on the ‘To Find Out More’ list |  Manorhamilton, Co.
