Dingle expecting surge in visitor numbers from US and UK

A boom tourist season is expected in the Dingle Peninsula this year with increased visitor numbers especially from the US and Britain.

And, after more than 30 years frolicking around the Kerry harbour, the internationally-known bottlenose dolphin Fungie continues to be a star attraction.

The local aquarium, Dingle Oceanworld, is also planning a €1m extension, including two new hi-tech exhibition areas due to be open for the 2016 season.
