Bishopstown (Irish: Baile an Easpaig, meaning 'town of the Bishop') is located in the civil parish of St. Finbar's, Barony of Cork, County Cork, Ireland. It is a southwestern suburb of Cork and is made-up of the townlands of Ballineaspigbeg and Ballineaspigmore (sometimes spelled Ballinaspigmore). It is near the town of Ballincollig, a satellite of Cork City, and is home to a number of schools and colleges, Though it is sometimes suggested that the name of the area derives from an early 18th-century bishop who built his country residence there, the name can be reputedly traced back further and found in sources dating to the 16th century.

The River Lee (Irish: An Laoi) is a river in Ireland. It rises in the Shehy Mountains on the western border of County Cork and flows eastwards through Cork, where it splits in two for a short distance, creating an island on which Cork's city centre is built, then passing through Cork Harbour on the south coast, one of the largest natural harbours in the world, to empty into the Celtic Sea. The catchment area of the River Lee is 1,253 km2. The long-term average flow rate of the River Lee is 40.4 cubic metres per second (m3/s)A hydro-electric scheme was built on the river, upstream from Cork City, and this part of the river now contains the Carrigadrohid and Inniscarra reservoirs. The river is crossed by 42 bridges, 29 of which are in Cork City, and one tunnel. The river also provides an 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) stretch of salmon fishing.

Bishopstown Stadium (Irish: Staid a' Baile an Easpaig) is an association football stadium located in Bishopstown on the western outskirts of Cork, Ireland. It is the home ground of Women's National League (WNL) club Cork City WFC. Formerly the home ground of League of Ireland club Cork City FC, it later became their training ground. Cork City FC's move to Bishopstown in 1993 proved costly and unpopular with fans, while the condition of the pitch quickly became "notorious". With Cork City on the verge of liquidation in November 1995, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) bought the stadium for £70,000 to be shared amongst the club's creditors. Under new ownership Cork City returned to Turners Cross in 1996.Property speculators McCarthy Developments then bought the Bishopstown ground and twice tried to turn it into student accommodation serving the Cork Institute of Technology, only to be refused planning permission. They rented the site back to Cork City as a training ground and administrative base in early 2010. Cork Women's FC began using the facility as their home ground in 2013, as they forged closer links with the owners of the male Cork City club.

Curraghkippane Cemetery or Currykippane Cemetery (Irish: Reilig Churrach Cheapáin), also known as St Mary's Cemetery, is a cemetery in Clogheen in the Kerry Pike area west of Cork in Ireland. The cemetery site, in use since at least the medieval period, overlooks Carrigrohane and the western part of Cork city, the River Lee valley, and the eastern part of Ballincollig. The Curraghkippane name is a metonymy, as its meaning used to apply to the entire area on the hill, but was reduced to refer to the cemetery alone. The wider area, including the townland to the east inclusive of the cemetery, has been thereafter referred to as Mount Desert.There are ruins of an old church on the cemetery, of which only the eastern gable and traces of a ringfort surrounding the structure remain. An ancient church at the site can be traced to 13th century, and it may have been destroyed and reduced to the current ruin as early as 17th century.The first headstones are believed to have been erected in 1730, and among those buried in the graveyard are Edward O'Callaghan, a lieutenant of the British Navy who died in 1808, and Jerome Collins, an arctic explorer and meteorologist from Cork who died in 1881 but was buried only much later in 1884. While most headstones in Curraghkippane, as in many old graveyards, face east, that of Collins with a large Celtic cross faces North to commemorate his ill-fated expedition to the North Pole. Collins's funeral is believed to be "the longest funeral in history", while anecdotally also the shortest one took place in the same cemetery when a sexton from the little cottage located within the area of the graveyard died and was taken out of the window to be buried just a few meters away. Also buried here is Gerald Goldberg, the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Cork. Soldiers from the World War I, patients from the old Cork mental hospital, some passengers from the sunken ship Lusitania, and people who donated their bodies to medical research, are also buried here.In 1885, the Cork Jewish Community purchased land adjacent to the old churchyard to consecrate for the Jewish Cemetery, and further expansion occurred in 1949. However, in the 1990s it became clear that the burial site would not be used fully, and the superfluous area was given to Cork County Council for the establishment of St Mary's Cemetery, Curraghkippane.Due to its location and history, the Curraghkippane graveyard has given inspiration to several songs and poems.
