Dingle or An Daingean? Only a third to decide

ONLY about a third of people living in Dingle will be able to vote in a plebiscite to change the official name of the town, now An Daingean.

Kerry County Council yesterday decided by 18-1 to hold the plebiscite, which is to be confined to Dingle townland, mainly the business area with a population of around 600.

Councillors complained this was unfair but accepted they had no choice.
