Templeglantine

Templeglantine (pronounced "Temple-glan-tin"), officially Templeglentan (Irish: Teampall an Ghleanntáin, meaning 'church of the little glen'),[1] is a village in west County Limerick, Ireland between Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale on the N21 national primary route – the main road from Limerick to Tralee.

Templeglantine is historically known locally as 'Inse Bán' or "Inchabaun", which, when translated, means 'the White River meadow'.

In the same year, the village received the Glór na nGael trophy from the then President of Ireland, Patrick Hillery.

After the defeat of the Desmonds in 1583, the area came under the control of Sir William Courtenay who planted most of west Limerick.

In 1985 a cist grave was discovered on the lands of James Leahy in the townland of Rathcahill West.

The village currently has a church, a school, a shop and post office, a pub, a community hall named Halla Inse Bán, the Devon Inn Hotel and a small housing estate called Ascaill Inse Bán.

Holycross/Ballycahill subsequently defeated Templeglantine in the All-Ireland Junior B Hurling Final Replay at Raheenagh in March 2014.

The local Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann branch is called CCÉ Teampall an Ghleanntáin.

The Templeglantine Céilí Band is very well known and frequently perform at céilidh and concerts in the Sliabh Luachra area.
