East Shelmaliere, also called Shelmaliere East, (Irish: Síol Maoluír Thoir) is a historical barony in southwest County Wexford, Ireland.
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.
History
The barony takes its name from the local tribe, the Síl Máel Uidir, "Seed of Bald Uidir."
Geography
