Council opens planning enforcement file into use of English name on Dingle housing development

Planners last month agreed on the name 'Fearran Uí Fhlaitheartaigh', but hoardings read 'Cairn Close' 

It is not the first time a dispute has arisen over language issues in Dingle. 

Kerry County Council has opened a planning enforcement file into the use of an English name on a housing development in the heart of Dingle.

The use of “Cairn Close”, in the heart of the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht, contravenes a specific planning condition attached to the development, a local councillor said.
