Gaeltacht na nDéise
Panoramic sea views and majestic mountains
Gaeltacht na nDéise is located in the sunny south-east of the country, situated by the sea with excellent views around every corner. An Rinn and An Sean-Phobal are the two neighboring communities in this small Gaeltacht. Home to musicians, singers, artists, film makers, historians and story tellers. Gaeltacht na nDéise is a rural place with panoramic sea views and majestic mountains rising in the background. It has a famous fishing heritage but is blessed too with rolling fertile fields. From here premium oysters go to France, beef and milk to far flung places. Emigrants leave this place reluctantly and return regularly. There is no denying either, that in this place, ‘ceol is in the soul’.
The people of Gaeltacht na nDéise welcome all wholeheartedly, share selflessly but protect that which is precious. At its core is the village of An Rinn stretching from school to shop, down to the fishing harbour called Heilbhic Head. Its neighbouring place of An Sean-Phobal has the community centre at its heart and the rugged cliffs with nestling seabirds at its rim.
“Remember that the Irish Language came from the Celts and the big generous heart that comes from the Gaels, and it would be a shame if we separated and lost that nice gentle language for ourselves and for the generation to come after us”
- Rev. Dr. Richard Hindeberg
