Name
The Irish Placenames Commission has researched the origin and meaning of Sallynoggin as a placename.In fact, the name is not Irish at all but English deriving from the "sally noggins" which referred to old timber-frame houses that were known to be situated there. The modern Irish word for noggin is the phonentic "naigín" hence "An Naigín" (The Noggin) as it is commonly called.Amenities
The Catholic church is situated in the centre of the parish and was opened in 1955 and dedicated to Our Lady of Victories. Prior to the building of this church a small church dedicated to St. Kevin was located on the west side of Sallynoggin Road (Townland of Honeypark) serving the village of Sallynoggin from 1927.There are large playing fields on either side of Sallynoggin Road with a newly built clubhouse for St Josephs Boys AFC football club on Pearse Road.
