Ballingeary

Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh (pronounced [bʲal̪ˠɑːn̪ˠˈɣʷeːrˠhiɡʲ] – sometimes anglicised as Ballingeary) is a village in the Shehy Mountains in County Cork, Ireland. The village is within the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) and has an active Irish-language summer school, Coláiste na Mumhan (The College of Munster). It also hosts a yearly agricultural and horticultural show. The River Lee rises a few miles west of the village, at Gougane Barra National Park. Timothy Manning, born and raised in Ballingeary before emigrating to the United States, eventually became Cardinal Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
