Location of the parish within north Tipperary
Townlands in the parish
Glenkeen or Glankeen (
Irish : Gleann Caoin ) is a
civil parish in
County Tipperary ,
Ireland .
[1] It is one of seven civil parishes in the
barony of
Kilnamanagh Upper .
The former
Church of Ireland parish of Glenkeen, which was co-extensive with the civil parish, was in the diocese of Cashel (which is now part of the diocese of
Cashel and Ossory ) and its
glebe house was in
the townland of Glenkeen .
This civil parish is unusual in that, when the parish structure of the Catholic church was re-established, the resultant
ecclesiastical parish , that of
Borrisoleigh and Ileigh (which is part of the
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly ), was (and is) co-extensive with the civil parish.

Borrisoleigh is located in the parish, which encompasses 14,215 statute
