Clondulane (Irish: Cluain Dalláin)[2] is a village and civil parish in north County Cork, Ireland. The village is about 4 mi (6 km) east of Fermoy, just off the main Fermoy-Dungarvan road. Originally built as a camp for the workers of a Cork Milling Company grain mill,[3] it now has a population of over 400.[1] Clondulane is part of the Cork East Dáil constituency.

There are three large houses of note in the village: Clondulane, Glandulane, and Careysville Houses, the latter being owned by the Duke of Devonshire (England) and used as a lodging house during the salmon season. Along with several housing estates and many stand alone dwellings, there is a school, community centre, public house, playing fields, park, disused railway station, factory, a Protestant school, Protestant church and graveyard.

Transport

[edit]

Clondulane railway station opened on 27 September 1872, and closed on 27 March 1967.[4] It was located on the now dismantled Waterford to Mallow line and served by the Rosslare to Cork boat train.[5]
