Stradbally

Stradbally (An Sráidbhaile in Irish) is a small town in County Laois, Republic of Ireland, located in the midlands of Ireland along the N80 road near Portlaoise. The town's name comes from the Irish, which means a village, or "town of (one) street".

Stradbally is famous for its Steam Rally, an annual gathering of enthusiasts of steam-powered vehicles. Traction engines and steam-powered cars are brought to the rally and displayed - those which are in working order are demonstrated, and a steam railway offers rides along a short track.

Stradbally is also the name of a village in County Waterford, near Bunmahon .
