Not far from Sneem (co. Kerry) there is a beach called Coral Beach. It is located nearby a quay called Gleesk Pier. According to logainm.ie the Irish name of this pier is Cé Ghlinsce. I've studied the sources mentioned on logainm.ie but I couldn't find the meaning of 'Ghlinsce'. Is it (the genitive of) a person's name? It is (the genitive of) another noun?
Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of places called Glinsce.
"Glinsce ‘valley’?
The etymology of glinsce is uncertain; it appears to be a derivative of glinn (gleann)."
