Tá MÓINÍN lonnaithe ar imeall Bhaile Uí Bheacháin, sráidbhaile beag álainn sa Bhoireann i dtuaisceart Chontae an Chláir. As ‘Gleann an Mhóinín’ agus ‘Sliabh an Mhóinín’ atá mar chúlbhrat ar an taobh thoir de Bhaile Uí Bheacháin a ghlac MÓINÍN ainm chuige féin mar chomhlacht.
MÓINÍN is based in the townland of Loch Reasca, just outside the beautifully picturesque village of Ballyvaughan at the foothills of the famed and stunning Burren in North Clare. It is from one of the many features of that world-renowned karst limestone region that MÓINÍN has borrowed her name: to the north and west the waters of the Atlantic rule all, but to the east, a band of Burren hills runs in a north-south arc, forming a perfect amphitheatre that envelops Ballyvaughan and its hinterland. Numbered amongst those hills are the craggy and cavernous Aillwee, the majestic Sliabh na gCapall and, most tellingly, between those two, the resplendent Móinín Mountain. And behind Móinín Mountain lies a fertile valley – a feature all too rare in this rugged rocky realm: Móinín Valley. Hence ‘Móinín’, a word which, in our native Irish language, an Ghaeilge, simply means ‘grassy patch’.
