I refer to your reply message of 7/June/2007.
Both Dunbeacon and Borlin are in West Cork, not far from Bantry Bay.
Dunbeacon is about five or six miles from Bantry, not far from Kilcrohane. My ggm Margaret Shanahan (1824-1909) came from there. Her father was John Shanahan and her mother was Jane O'Mahon(e)y. Also I know there to be O'Mahon(e)ys in Kilcrohane.
I'm not sure where Borlin is exactly, but I believe it to be somewhht closer to the border with Co.Kerry.
Both places should be on detailed maps, online or otherwise, of the area.
