Dingle/ An Daingean - Popular vote may make no difference

Common sense seems to have prevailed in the wrangle over the naming of the Kerry town, and whether it should be called An Daingean or Dingle.

Yesterday, over 1,000 people voted in a plebiscite to request the Government to change the name of the west Kerry Gaeltacht town from An Daingean to Dingle/Daingean Uí Chuis.

Despite the fact that the proposal was carried by over 90%, it could be presumed that the people had spoken and that would be an end to the matter.
