===Official blazon=== | |||
Party per fess or fretty of blackthorn branches leaved proper and ermine, a fess wavy azure. With the mottoes: Uimhir gan choisc, and above The irrepressible number. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on November 23, 1999. | |||
The gold and ermine are from the arms of the local family Bagnal (Muinebheag is called Bagnalstown in English). Its Irish language name 'Muinebheag' means 'a little thicket of thorns' hence the upper half of the shield is 'fretty of thorn boughs'. | The gold and ermine are from the arms of the local family Bagnal (Muinebheag is called Bagnalstown in English).
