Clones
The word clones is also used as the plural of
clone
.
Clones
(
Irish
:
Cluain Eois
) is a small town in
County Monaghan
, in the border area of
Ireland
. The area is part of the
BMW region
(Border, Midlands and Western) earmarked for economic development by the Irish government, due to its currently below average economic situation. The author
Patrick McCabe
is from the town, noted particularly for his novel
The Butcher Boy
. Although not as prominent nowadays, it was a well-known place from the late
19th century
until the mid-
20th century
. The town was a major
railway junction
where routes from
Enniskillen
,
Armagh
,
Cavan
and
Dundalk
converged. This formed the focal point of the
railway
network in what is now the border area between the
Republic of Ireland
and
Northern Ireland
. The railways were finally closed after unilateral closure of the Northern Ireland route sections by the Northern Authorities and the
Ulster Transport Authority
(see
History of rail transport in Ireland
).
