Little Island
Little Island, County Cork, is a civil parish and mainly industrial area to the east of Cork city in Ireland.
It is no longer an island since the northern channel separating it from the mainland has filled over. To the west and south is Lough Mahon, part of Cork Harbour; across a channel to the east is Fota Island. Little Island is within the Dáil constituency of Cork North-Central.
