Dingle, whose current Irish name is An Daingean, is a fishing village in County Kerry. In 2005, the government ruled that since this was an Irish-language (Gaeltacht) area, it had to have a Gaelic name. Unfortunately, no-one could remember what Dingle’s Irish name was. The government simply invented one: An Daingean which means “The Fortress.” While 90% of the residents prefer Dingle, officially the area is An Daingean.
Irish pubs are places for socializing and, sometimes, for listening to good music played in an informal setting. Shown below are a few of the pubs in Dingle.
