WELCOME to Fanlobbus Union of Parishes
 
We serve the parish areas of Coolkelure, Drinagh, Drimoleague and Dunmanway in the rural West Cork region. The main industries are agricultural based, such as dairy farming; and there are also farmers' cooperatives, creameries, and many local shops, and other businesses.
 
The town of Dunmanway is at the heart of the Union and can be located on the main road between Bandon and Bantry, and is an ideal place for centring a holiday if seeking to explore this beautiful and varied area. Coastal roads and towns are a short driving distance away, and the welcome and hospitality are warm.
