Kilnaleck (Irish: Cill na Leice, meaning 'church of the flagstone') is a small village in County Cavan, Ireland on the R154 regional road. Kilnaleck was once the centre of a mining boom when in 1879 some local businessmen and a school headmaster decided to develop the coal that existed nearby. However, the coal was very deep and hard to extract and the mine was forced to close. The village is part of Crosserlough parish.
Transport
In December 2023 Kilnaleck gained a regular several times daily (including Sundays) bus service. Route C2 operated by Local Link connects Kilnaleck with Ballinagh and Cavan. Over the decades Kilnaleck was served by CIÉ and from 1987 by Bus Éireann. However, in 2009 the remaining service, Bus Éireann route 179, was discontinued. Nowadays the nearest Bus Éireann routes may be accessed at Mountnugent (route 187) or Ballinagh (route 111A & 466), 7 km and 10 km distant respectively.
