Kinsalebeg (Irish: Cionn tSáile)[1] is a civil parish in the historical barony of Decies-within-Drum in County Waterford, Ireland.[2][3] Kinsalebeg is close to the border with County Cork and across the bay, at Youghal Harbour, from the town of Youghal.[4]
The former Church of Ireland church in Kinsalebeg, built in 1821,[5] has been disused since the early 20th century and is now in ruin.[6] The current Roman Catholic church, in Pilltown townland, was built in the late 20th century on the site of an earlier church.[7] This church, which is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, is in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.[8] A holy well, also associated with Saint Bartholomew, is nearby.[9][10]
The local national (primary) school, Kinsalebeg National School (also known as Scoil Náisiúnta Naomh Parthala),[11][12] had an enrollment of 59 pupils as of January 2024.[13]
