TransportThe village was originally a planned town built in 1810 on a tidal quay wall and named at that time "New Glanmire". It is served by the commuter railway line between Cork and Cóbh. The next station in the Cork direction is Little Island, while towards Cóbh the next stop is at Fota Island. With the reopening, in 2009, of the railway line to Midleton, Glounthaune railway station became the junction between the Cóbh and Midleton lines. SportThe parish of Glounthaune is the main base for Gaelic Athletic Association club, Erin's Own GAA and soccer club Glounthaune United, which as well as Glounthaune itself covers the neighbouring areas of Knockraha, Little Island, and Brooklodge. Erin's Own won the Cork County final in 2006 (defeating Cloyne) and 2007 (defeating Newtownshandrum). Soccer is also played in Glounthaune, the village being home to Glounthaune United A.F.C, which was formed in 2003.

The tower is still extant and has since been converted into a private residence while retaining many of its original features including a life-sized statue of Father Mathew that is still located in the tower's garden. Around 2014 the refurbished and modernized tower was sold for approximately one million pounds. For a detailed eyewitness description of the tower in the summer of 1848, see Asenath Nicholson's Annals of the Famine in Ireland in 1847, 1848 and 1849 Ulsterbooks, 2017, pp. 184-193. Nicholson also discusses Father Mathew in great detail in Annals on pp. 212-214. People
