Talk:Lanesborough–Ballyleague

The name of the place
Is Ballyleague-lanesborouh the correct name? On most small scale maps only the name Lanesborough and a place called "Ballyclare" just west of where Ballyleague is reputed to be. Also, I never heard the place called anything except Lanesborough until I came across this article. OSi maps give "Baile Atha Liag" as the Irish name for Lanesborough; not as a separate place across the river. That fact that they are two separate parishes would not make them separate "villages". (Sarah777 18:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC))The fact is the town of Lanesborough is in county Longford. Leinster and Ballyleague is in County Roscommon, Connaught

There are two different towns with different names due in fact that one has industry that being lanesborough whilst Ballyleague is agricultural. The western town, Ballyleague is always called that by all the locals. The name Ballyclare has in the past been on some maps, but it seems to be an area about 2km west of Ballyleague. Many maps don't include the name Ballyleague because it has a smaller population than Lanesborough. Similar issues arise in Killaloe - Ballina (BopSmart 21:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)) Most of the locals when they find there way home from the pub, its then that they know where the two names come from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.148.124 (talk) 19:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
