Recently, Dingle has been the subject of much controversy over its name. 2005 saw much controversy over Dingle's name.
The Irish Minister for Gaeltacht announced in 2005 that English translations of Irish places will be replaced with the original Irish name. A Daingean was given the name Dingle in 2005 to reflect this move towards Irish names.
This was the case in all other parts of the country. However, Dingle, which relies heavily on tourism for its major economic activity, resisted the name change.
Tourists would not recognize An Daingean, it was feared. Daingean, a nearby town in County Offaly, also had a similar name. After a vote, it was decided that the town would be called Dingle/Daingean Ui Chris in October 2006.
Dingle is home to many bars and restaurants. You can spend hours walking around the town, taking in the bustling activity. Many pubs offer traditional Irish music every night and are equipped with traditional Irish food and drinks.
