Innishannon or Inishannon (Irish: Inis Eonáin)[3] is a large village on the main Cork–Bandon road (N71) in County Cork, Ireland.
[4] Formerly controlled by the de Barry family, the area was used as a ferry point on the river from at least the early medieval period.
Innishannon's Gaelic Athletic Association pitch, home to Valley Rovers GAA club, is sometimes flooded because of its proximity to the river.
[20] Innishannon is home of the author Alice Taylor who wrote the bestselling To School Through the Fields, and Quench the Lamp, as well as many other novels and collections of poetry.
[21] Valley Rovers GAA club has provided the national Gaelic Athletic Association organisation with two presidents, Seán McCarthy and Con Murphy.
