  • Hello,

    I just saw your post,  and wanted to let you know that Glantane and Glounthaune parishes are NOT the same. Beenalaght/Glantane is southwest of Mallow, while Glounthaune is just east of Cork City. The two locations are about 45km apart.  I wanted to alert you so that you don't miss a connection with someone looking in Glantane.

    Best,

    Clare Powers-O'Neill
