Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The place name is Maio. I found this 2007 thread on the Internet and it will give you some good background. I believe our parish liaison from Moynalty is one of the commenters on the thread. You can e-mail Catherine at moynalty@irelandxo.com and I'm sure she will provide more background.
