Dun Garbhan Irish pronunciation of Dungarvan meaning Fort of Garbhan. Named for St. Garbhan who founded a church here in the 7th century, the town was settled in the 3rd century by a tribe called the Deise. People from the Dungarvan area still refer to the area as the Deise (pronounced day-sha). At matches the roar of "UP THE DEISE" echoes across the field.
