I couldn't find any Gleasons in Tipperary in the Irish phone book.
There are quite a few John Gleason birth/baptism records on www.rootsireland.ie/ (including surname variants) from Neneagh R C parish; do you have a birth year for him?
According to the Ellis Island passenger list he was 19 when he arrived 20 Sept 1902 on the Lucania from Queenstown - last residence Nenagh - but this doesn't mean he was born there. Do you have the name of any siblings?
These are the 2 closest matches from roots:

Searching the 1901 Census . . there is NO John Gleason/Gleeson (aged 19/20) listed for Nenagh Town
therefore . . looking at the rural parishes in proximity of Nenagh (postal address Nenagh 1901) we find
the following possabilities . . as a close fit . . to the little offered info.given
Does this help ?? If not . . try . . . http://www.tipperarycoco.ie/heritage/genealogy-centre

I apologize for presenting so little information. His parents were Michael Gleason and Mary Ryan Gleason. Siblings were William and Johanna. He had a son John who became a Franciscan (OFM) priest who viisited the family in Ireland in the 1950,s but records of this trip are lost. I don't think he was the Ellis island passenger referred to above. I think he arrived in 1900 and was age 26 at the time. He went on to be a policeman in Buffalo N.Y.

Hi all,
there is an Ellis Island entry (which I have failed to copy/upload) for John Gleason, aged 26, arrival date Nov 15th 1900 aboard the Majestic. The rest is hard to make out and purely guesswork - going to sister Hannah, 103 University Ave, Syracuse, NY. Hope this helps.
