  This must be one of many thousands of similar shots taken of courses at this Coláiste! Ring (Irish: An Rinn) or Rinn Ó gCuanach (anglicised as Ringagonagh[1]) is a parish within the Irish-speaking Gaeltacht na nDéise area in County Waterford, Ireland. It lies on a peninsula about seven miles south of Dungarvan. The main settlement is the village of Ring,[1] which is within the townland of Ballynagaul, County Waterford. It is a swiftly growing area that has three schools - two primary (including the Coláiste na Rinne boarding Irish medium school) and one secondary school — a post office, restaurants, pubs and other businesses. There are also two fishing piers/harbours (Baile na nGall and Helvick), two beaches (Coinigéar and Baile na nGall) and a cove at Helvick. The official name of the area is An Rinn; a direct translation into English would mean The Cape/Point Headland. Both An Rinn and the anglicised form Ring were on the local road-signs until 2005, when the anglicised form ceased to have official standing. Today, roadsigns show the Irish name only. (Wikipedia)

  Swordscookie The peninsulas north and south of Stranraer are known as the Rhinns. Now I know why.

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons Mary, it says in the catalogue this was taken on 17 July 1924. That more exact date might be a help to get that bell ringing.
