Gleann Cholm Cille, anglicised as Glencolumbkille or Glencolmcille,[2] is a small district on the Atlantic coast of southwest County Donegal in Ireland. Named after Saint Colm Cille (Columba), it is also a civil parish in the historic barony of Banagh.[3] Glencolmcille is in the Gaeltacht, and while it remains an Irish-speaking community, English has been steadily replacing Irish as the main language, with only 34% of residents speaking Irish on a daily basis in 2002.[4] The village of Cashel is the main settlement in the district.
