Just one of the killer lines in the forthcoming RTÉ documentary on Christy Ring - and one courtesy of Irish Examiner columnist and podcast host Paul Rouse. When the documentary ‘Ringy’ was made, and it’s a great documentary, they were able to interview a lot of Ring’s contemporaries. Those included Willie John Ring, Eamonn Young, Jim Young, Jack Lynch, Sean Hill, Rita Ring and Patricia Horgan, who was there when Ring died. David Ring, who’s the family historian, was another huge help to us all the way along.”The result will be available to view on RTÉ in December, with the transmission date yet to be finalised. The documentary goes from Ring’s birth to his involvement as a selector on the Cork three-in-a-row side of the seventies.
