Dingle or An Daingean?

The campaign to decide the name of Dingle in Co Kerry has stepped up a gear.

Residents of the town are displaying car stickers with the cliché: 'If it aint broken, why fix it?' in Irish in support of changing the title from An Daingean back to English.

Kerry County Council will hold a referendum in the area by the end of the year when locals will vote on the controversial name change.

The story has even crossed the Atlantic where it made the front page of the New York Times.
