I had being this person, but apparently there is some debate about the meaning:

www.logainm.ie/en/1167096
The meaning of blá is unclear. Roibeárd Ó hÚrdail discusses the name in 'The Placename Béal na Blá', Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society, 104 (1999), 111–116, proposing that the final element is the word blá, 'green, lawn, &c.' (féach A Dictionary of the Irish Language, www.dil.ie). The linguistic evidence does not support Béal na (m)Bláth, an Irish form often associated with this placename. See also Art Ó Maolfhabhail, 'Béalnabláth nó Béal Átha na Bláithche?', in the same journal, vol. 97 (1992), pp. 80–84.

Also while Dev was at Bealnablath, there’s no evidence he had anything to do with organising Collins’ death, the movie has him having a breakdown behind a haystack, weeping, the night before the ambush, implying he knew what was going to happen.
