Ballyvolane (Irish: Baile Uí Mhaoláin)[1] is a townland and suburb of Cork on the north side of the city. The townland of Ballyvolane is in the civil parish of St. Anne's Shandon.[2] It is within the Cork North-Central Dáil constituency.
The two schools in Ballyvolane are St. Aidan's Community Community College and Scoil Oilibhéir, and the local Roman Catholic Church is Saint Oliver's, built in the 1990s.[3] Nearby archaeological sites, protected under the National Monuments Acts, include a number of burnt mounds and fulacht fiadh.[3][4][5]
Ballyvolane Shopping Centre is anchored by Dunnes Stores and first opened in 1980.[6]
In June 2012, several households in the area were damaged by flooding.[7]
