I looked for info on the Colaiste na Rinne, and found myself in a newspaper archive, looking at an issue of the Irish Press dated 11 October 1937. The article is "A Great Gaelic Centre," don't know how much I can read properly but I will quote what I can. Forget about linking, it's too difficult to read....

A roof was added and in 1909 Ring College started in earnest. During the next few years it continued to develop and prosper, and in 1919 the children's school, Sgoil na Leanbh, was founded, with Séamus Ó h-Eochadha (An Fear Mór) as President."
