Ballinalack is one of 15 townlands of the civil parish of Leny in the barony of Corkaree in the Province of Leinster. The townland covers 151 acres (0.61 km2). The River Inny meanders past forming the western boundary of the townland. The neighbouring townlands are: Cappagh to the north, Carrick and Grange to the east, Cullenhugh and Glebe to the south and Joanstown to the west.[4][5]
In the 1911 census of Ireland there were 24 houses[6][7] and 105 inhabitants[8] in the townland, mostly centred in the village. It has a pub called The Western Gem, located in the village centre.[9]
