Ring (Irish: An Rinn, its official name) or Ringagonagh (Irish: Rinn Ó gCuanach [ˈɾˠiːṉʲ ˈoː ˈɡuənˠəx])[2] is a parish within the Irish-speaking Gaeltacht na nDéise area in County Waterford, Ireland. It lies on a peninsula about eleven kilometres (7 mi) south of Dungarvan. The main settlement is the village of Ring or Ringville, which is within the townland of Ballynagaul.
It is a growing area that has three schools – two primary (including Scoil na Leanaí in Coláiste na Rinne, an Irish language boarding school) and one secondary school, Meánscoil San Nioclás. There are also restaurants, pubs, and other businesses. There are two fishing piers/harbours (Ballynagaul and Helvick), two beaches (The Cunnigar and Ballynagaul) and a cove at Helvick. It is the only Gaeltacht in Waterford, and the only one in the south-east of Ireland.
