A photographic postcard print captioned ‘Learning Irish Dancing at Ring College’ (Coláiste na Rinne) in County Waterford. Coláiste na Rinne was established in 1905 and officially recognised as an Irish language summer school in 1907. The principal founders of the college were Pádraig Ó Cadhla (1875-1948), an organiser for Conradh na Gaeilge in the locality, and Richard Henebry (1863-1916), also known as Risteard de Hindeberg, a Waterford-born priest, Irish language scholar and traditional music collector.
