I've never been to Donegal and definitely don't know for sure but I know where to look generally when trying to find ragworm, you want to dig around muscle beds in Estuary backwaters, so I'd say this location would be a good bet! https://maps.app.goo.gl/wwXfdyZBhSHbbNQv5

I might add that it might be getting a bit late in the season for ragworm, ragworm I think spawns in winter and I've read others say it's not good to dig them in winter, but lug can be a better option for the winter months!

Hope this helps!
