VIDEO: Irish Tourism Summer 2015: Dingle peninsula puts on a good show all year round

IT was the worst July in 22 years but the lack of sunshine has not affected numbers travelling to one of the country’s top tourist towns.

It has, however, affected what people do when they get there and how much money they spend.
