Dungarvan
About Dungarvan
Dungarvan is a coastal town and harbour in County Waterford, at the south coast of Ireland. Prior to the merger of Waterford County Council with Waterford City Council in 2014, Dungarvan turned into the county town and administrative centre of County Waterford. Waterford City and County Council keeps administrative offices in the city. The city's Irish call manner "Garbhann's fortress", referring to Saint Garbhann who based a church there within the 7th century.
The metropolis lies on the N25 street, which connects Cork, Waterford and Rosslare Europort. Dungarvan is located on the mouth of the Colligan River, which divides the town into parishes - that of Dungarvan to the west, and that of Abbeyside to the east -, these being related in three places through a causeway and single-span bridge constructed via the Dukes of Devonshire starting in 1801; by way of an antique railway bridge; and by way of a ring-street causeway and bridge. Dungarvan became included in the fifteenth century, was represented via contributors inside the Irish Parliament until the Act of Union in 1801, and back one member to the Westminster Parliament until 1885. Unlike close by Waterford and Duncannon, Dungarvan surrendered with out a siege in the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.
