Village battles to restore ‘loose women’
Locals in the hamlet of Doon reportedly prefer the name of Dun Bleisce — translated as the Fort of the Harlot, which was removed by the Placenames Commission decades ago.
More than 800 people signed a petition calling on Community Affairs Minister Eamon Ó Cuiv to reverse the decision of the Placenames Commission to remove the word ‘bleisce’ from the Irish name of the town.
