Corrigan’s place (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riga

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'corrigan's' is the wordplay.
'RIGA' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for riga that I've seen before include "trading centre in Latvia" , "Capital city of Latvia" , "Latvian capital" , "European capital" , "Baltic port" .)
