    Most of the signposts here just say An Rinn, and not the full version, which goes to show that even the council call it by its shortened 'unofficial' name. The english part is usually removed from signs.

    Pardon my mistake noby. I know a couple of lads from Modeligo, one a school teacher who were fluent Irish speakers. However there are parts of west Co. Waterford outside of Ring where Irish is spoken but it occurs in areas under the 40% threshold that qualifies it for Gaeltacht status (usually around 5-20%).

    However my old hurling coach from DLS College in Waterford is an Old Parish man out and out.

    Very good

    I doubt the name 'Dingle' was wanted by the good people of Daingean when it was first imposed on them anyway, so it's all just a form of restorative justice....
