County : Monaghan

Coat of arms (crest) of Ballybay

Official blazon

Or semée of birch leaves and flax flowers proper a fess wavy azure with the Motto: Bheith i lár báire.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 1, 2003.

The green birch leaves along with the wavy blue stripe represent the name and location of Ballybay. Its name comes from the Irish "Béal Átha Beithe," which means “Mouth of the Ford of the Birch Trees,” as it sits on the Dromore River. The central position of the stripe stands for the town’s central location in County Monaghan. This centrality is further referred to in the motto "Bheith i Lár Báire," which in Irish means “Be at the centre.” The flax flowers symbolise the Linen Industry which helped Ballybay to prosper.Literature: Information provided by Stan Zamyatin Moore.
