Ardmore, County Waterford (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ardmore is a fishing village in County Waterford, Ireland, not far from Youghal on the south coast of Ireland, with a population of around 330, although this varies with the tourist season. It is believed to be the oldest Christian settlement in Ireland. Saint Declan lived in the region at some time in the period 350-450 AD and Christianised the area before the coming of Saint Patrick. The parish is in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. At the Synod of Rathbreasail in 1111, it enjoyed the status of a bishopric in its own right due to the esteem in which St. Declan's monastery was held.
