n/a
Is do Ballinreeshig (bar. Kerrycurrihy, p. Killanully; SO 86) sa chontae céanna a thagraíonn Ballinrishie (AL: Eliz., Inq. I 29, anno 1586).
Nóta
n/a
Is ionann an tseanfhoirm Bealach na Ros (CrC 174.5) agus Ballard (I 190.3) dar leis an bPaorach (Power 1932 89.43) agus is dóigh le Liam Ó Buachalla gur do Ballinrush a thagraíonn sí (Ó Buachalla 1949 a34, idem 1950 b91). Níl ceachtar den dá thuairim seo inchosanta áfach de bhrí gur bhain Ballinrush le Eoghanacht Glennomnach (CrC 172.3) agus is le Tuath O Conail (CrC 174.7) a bhain Ballard. Dá mb’ionann Bealach na Ros agus ceann den dá áit thuas, ba le ceann den dá sheandúiche sin nárbh fholáir dó a bheith luaite ach is le ceantar Brigi Gobunn (CrC 174.5) a luaitear seo.
