Draft legislation brings Dingle name change row close to resolution

THE long-running Dingle name change row is coming closer to resolution, it has emerged.

New draft legislation, published by Environment Minister John Gormley, will allow the popular tourist town and fishing port have a bilingual name.

It will be known as Dingle /Daingean Uí Chúis in accordance with the wishes of people in the town who, in October 2006, voted in a local plebiscite on the issue.
