Houe of the week: Pride of the parish at Glounthaune’s Parochial House

WELCOME to the heart of Glounthaune, and indeed welcome to New Glanmire... What?

‘New Glanmire’ was the name given back over 200 years ago to what’s now Glounthaune, east of Cork city, and east too of Glanmire. That’s when the village was originally laid out as a planned town, by the edge of Cork harbour, hemmed in to the south by a tidal quay wall, and by expansive mud flats.
