Dingle transport survey with a chance to win an electric bike or solar energy system

Dingle Peninsula has been designated a decarbonisation zone and already there has been a successful rollout of local link buses that were used more than 45,000 times last year

The Dingle Peninsula Energy Master Plan, undertaken by Dingle Sustainable Energy Community in 2018, identified transport as the single biggest energy user on the whole peninsula, accounting for 54% of all energy usage.

In his column on this page, Dan MacCarthy, a most knowledgeable person about our islands, recently described a walk on the storied Great Blasket as a "truly transcendent experience".

During the holiday period, many people are savouring this special island, off the Dingle Peninsula. Having done so a number of times, I can heartily recommend it.
