Gneeveguilla, (pronounced: neev-gilla), officially Gneevgullia ({{lga|Gníomh go Leith}}),[1] is a small village in the Sliabh Luachra region of East County Kerry, Ireland. It lies about {{convert|19|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Killarney, close to the County Kerry/County Cork border.

Location

Gneeveguilla is situated in a region of hills and valleys and serves a rural hinterland consisting of dairy farms, pastureland and peatland.{{fact|date=March 2019}} Townlands in the area include Coom (Lower and Upper), Bawnard, Gullaun, Mausrower and Lisheen.[2] At Mausrower, there used to be a large quarry in the early part of the 20th century, the remnants of which can be seen today on the approach from the Killarney direction towards Lower Coom. Hence the junction at Lower Coom being known as the Quarry Cross.{{fact|date=December 2018}}

History

In the 19th century Gneeveguilla was the scene of an event known as the 'Moving Bog'.[3] On the night of Sunday 28 December 1896, after a prolonged period of bad weather, sleeping families were awakened by an unusual sound. When daylight broke, to their horror they realised that over {{convert|200|acre|km2}} of bogland was on the move in a southerly direction, taking everything before it. It followed the course of the Ownachree river into the river Flesk. The bog continued to move until New Year's Day and came to rest covering hundreds of acres of pastureland.{{fact|date = March 2019}} The Moving Bog claimed the lives of 8 members of one local family.[3]

Music and culture

Several exponents of the 'Sliabh Luachra style' of traditional Irish music come from the Gneeveguilla area, including fiddler players Julia Clifford, Denis Murphy and Paddy Cronin, and button accordion player Johnny O'Leary.[4][5][6]

There is a statue in the village in honour of the Sliabh Luachra seanchaí (storyteller) Éamon Kelly (1914–2001).[7]

Sports

Gneeveguilla is home to Gneeveguilla AC. Established in 1978, it has had success in both local Kerry Athletics and at national Level.{{fact|date=December 2018}}

Gneeveguilla GAA is the local GAA club which plays in the East Kerry GAA division. Gneeveguilla is home to Ambrose O'Donovan, a former captain of the Kerry senior football team which won the 'Centenary All-Ireland' All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[8] Gneeveguilla won the Kerry Intermediate Football Championship in 2010, beating Finuge in the final in Austin Stack park in Tralee. They then went on to win the Munster Championship and lost the All-Ireland semi-final to St.James of County Galway, after a period of extra time.[9]

Development

In Kerry County Council's "South East Kerry Settlements Local Area Plan 2008-2015", a number of opportunities for the future development of Gneeveguilla were identified.[10] The plan recommended against scattered and ribbon development, as well as environmental and pedestrian safety improvements.
