Dingle to vote on bilingual name idea

A PLEBISCITE on a controversial proposal to change the name of Dingle is to go ahead in October, despite warnings that it will have no legal effect.

Kerry County Council yesterday announced details of a postal vote to be carried out in the town between October 9 and October 19.

Gaeltacht Minister Eamon Ó Cuiv has already decided to change the official name of Dingle to An Daingean.
