Bilingual road signs will put end to long-running Dingle name change saga

The long-running Dingle name change dispute is almost over, with bilingual road signs due to be erected by the National Roads Authority next month.

The names Dingle/Daingean Uí Chúis will be on all signposts leading to the peninsula ahead of the beginning of the 2013 tourist season.

A campaign to have both the Irish and English versions of the name on signs began in 2004 — driven mainly by local tourism interests who claimed visitors were confused when only the Irish version appeared.
