Glenealy (Irish: Gleann Fhaídhle) is a village 8 km (5.0 mi) west of Wicklow Town, in County Wicklow, on the R752. The Dublin – Rosslare railway line also passes through the village.
Since the extension of the N11 dual-carriageway from Dublin to within 5 km (3.1 mi) of the village in 2004, it has been undergoing population growth, attracting people commuting to Dublin.[citation needed] In the 20 years between the 1996 and 2016 census, the village population grew from 383 to 694 people.
The village has a school, pub and a small shop known to the locals as the ‘yellow shop’.
