Fury over 'meaningless' name for Dingle housing estate

The newly opened 20-house development has been named 'Pairceanna na Glas', which is incorrect in terms of grammar and spelling

It is not the first time a heated row has erupted over a place name officially approved in Dingle.

A “meaningless” Irish name has been assigned to a new social housing development in Dingle in west Kerry, a region where the protection of the Irish language is a key objective of development plans.

Furious locals who have been seeking to have it removed say greater care should have been taken in a town where Irish is of such importance.
