Ballinalee

Ballinalee or Saint Johnstown (Irish:Béal Átha na Laogh), is a village in north County Longford, Ireland. It is situated on the River Camlin, and falls within the civil parish of Clonbroney.

The village name in Irish means "Mouth of the Ford of the Calves". The name "St Johnstown" came from the name of the Church of Ireland Church of St. John. There are two fine Roman Catholic churches in the parish: the Church of the Holy Trinity in the village and the uniquely styled Church of St James in Clonbroney. Ballinalee was the site of the first convent in Ireland at Old Clonbroney. Its remains are still to be seen.
