Cluineen - does that translate to Clooneen or Cloneen?

TipperaryTipperary (Tipperary)

I have Ryan relatives buried in the US.  Their grave stones say they are from Cluineen, Tipperary.  Does that translate to Clooneen or Cloneen?  Thanks for the help!

Thank you both for your responses.  I am leaning towards Clooneen (in North Tipperary) myself, but I will keep asking around.
