It is located near Portlaoise on the R422 regional road just off the M7 Dublin–Limerick motorway. The late 18th century village of Emo originally developed around the gates of Emo Court. The village pub, the New Inn, dates from the village's foundation, as does the Gothic Catholic Church, which contains the tomb of Aline, Lady Portarlington, with its recumbent effigy by Joseph Boehm. The site for the church was a gift from Lord Portarlington, and the parochial house and lands beside the church were granted by the Earl of Portarlington at a nominal rent.
