Trawlebane (also Tralibane) is a townland in western County Cork, Ireland. Birthplace to Francis O'Neill (1848-1936). O'Neill grew up on his family farm near the bridge.[1] There is a bronze plaque in his honour near the bridge in Trawlebane. Not far from the bridge is a statue of Francis O'Neill along with other commemorative plaques.[2] The area is officially known as "Trawlebane" although O'Neill spelled it "Tralibane".
