Gorey ({{Irish place name|Guaire}}) is a market town in north County Wexford, Ireland. It is beside the main M11 Dublin to Wexford road. The town is also connected to the railway network along the same route. Local newspapers include the Gorey Guardian and Gorey Echo.

Gorey is one hour drive from the southern outskirts of Dublin, connected to the capital via the N11/M11. As a commuter town,[8] there has been an increase in population in the early 21st century.[9] Between 1996 and 2002 the population rose by 44% in the town and by 23% in the surrounding district.[10]

Amenities

In addition to several restaurants, there are two hotels in the town - both with leisure centre, swimming pools, and conference facilities.{{fact|date=November 2017}}

Courtown Harbour or Courtown, a small holiday resort used by weekend visitors from Dublin, is situated {{convert|6|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Gorey.

The town marked the 150th anniversary of the consecration of Christ Church in 2011.[11] The church, which was completed in 1861, was designed by James Welland, one of the provincial architects of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of the Church of Ireland. It is noted for its stained glass windows designed by Harry Clarke and Catherine O'Brien.[12]

Entertainment and media

Gorey has had a local theatre group since the 1950s, which hosts a number of performances annually from its 300 seat auditorium.[13]

Gorey Musical Society has one production a year, and its 2007 staging of Oklahoma! received the 'Best Overall Show' award at the Association of Irish Musical Societies awards in Killarney.[14]

Gorey Choral Group, a mixed-voice choir founded in the 1970s, has participated in a number of contests, and won first plan in the jazz and popular music section of the 2016 Cork International Choral Festival.[15]

For 15 years during the 1970s and early 1980s, the Gorey Arts Festival, organised by local artist Paul Funge, was held in the town during the summer.[16] Performers at the festival included U2, Horslips, Chris de Burgh, Christy Moore, Planxty, Makem and Clancy,

Niall Tóibín and Eamon Morrissey.[17][18]

Every year, varying from late July to early August, Gorey's main street closes over several days for the Market House Festival.[19]

There are a number of pubs, bars and nightclubs, including Oscars 64 (which is also home to the O2 nightclub), Paddy Blues, McGovern's, French's, Breen's Bar, The Coach House, Katie Daly's, and The Bridge Bar.

A seven-screen cinema, Movies at Gorey, is located on the Courtown road.[20]

The Gorey Guardian and the Gorey Echo are both local newspapers.[21]

A nursery is located near the outskirts of Gorey in the Barnlands area, and the town also has a CrossFit gym.{{fact|date=February 2019}}

Development

The town lies on the N11 (Dublin-to-Rosslare) route, and until a by-pass was opened in June 2007, traffic congestion was an issue. The by-pass is a 23-kilometre-long high standard dual carriageway, and was upgraded to motorway status in August 2009.

Gorey's main secondary school, Gorey Community School has the largest student population of any school in Ireland with over 1,600 students.{{fact|date=May 2018}} In 2012 another post-primary school, Creagh College opened to accommodate Gorey's increased population of secondary school students. Five local primary schools, Gorey Loreto Primary, Saint Joseph's Primary, Gorey Central School, Gaelscoil Moshíológ Guaire and Gorey Educate Together National School feed the Community School, as do a number of schools in the surrounding area. An additional secondary school, Creagh College, was opened in 2011 as a result of the overflow of the community school.{{fact|date=May 2018}} Gorey School of Art is Post Leaving Certificate school for the arts.[32]
