Emlagh basks in shadow of Funghi and Hollywood

Dingle manor has won numerous awards and would be ideal for family or other uses, Tommy Barker reports.

FUNGHI the dolphin is 30 years resident in Dingle, Co Kerry this spring —- which means he’s been here three times longer than Emlagh House.

Named from the Irish, Imeall an Locha, the Georgian manor or country house Emlagh is, in fact, a modern pretender, built in classical old style in a great town setting — overlooking the harbour mouth, Hussey’s Folly and the old lighthouse, all very much Fungi’s familiar Dingle Bay stomping ground.
