Dingle Peninsula

These are pictures on the Dingle Peninsula. It is a very beautiful area, and is quite renowned (and a tourist mecca) since the filming of Ryan's Daughter there. Also, it is the main location of a strong Irish/Gaelic movement (as is all of Kerry). There is a controversy right now - a politician ordained that it should be called "An Dingean", its Gaelic name. However, many citizens are up in arms - either wanting to use both the English and the Gaelic, or just upset because it was ordained in kind of a high-handed way. Anyway, there is now going to be a non-binding plebiscite to decide the official name, but the pertinent official says he will ignore the outcome - ah, politics! I liked the pictures of the street scenes, so wanted to share them as well as the beautiful scenery! We still need to make a trip to the east side of the peninsula - a pretty beach near the town of Inch, which nearly touches the Rossbeigh Beach across the bay on the Iveragh Peninsula, where we drive every Friday. Also, near Dingle town is Conor Pass, the highest pass on this side of the county, which is reputed to be very beautiful - sometime soon, or when one ofyou comes to visit!
