Eamonn O Cuiv said on the radio tonight that the legislation would have to be changed in order to enforce the result and he doesn't have any intention of doing this as it would only encourage other Gaeltacht towns to do the same.
 
Re: Dingle Abú

It seem that Eamonn Cuiv (this is how his name appears on the ballot papers) is not for turning.

I wonder will RTÉ, Radio Kerry etc respect the wishes of the people of the Dingle town?

Eamonn Cuiv's legalistic posturings are risable.

When I was growing up in Kerry, if we misbehaved we were threatened with being sent to Dangean.(the town formerly called Phillipstown in the Kings County, but sin sceal eile!) "Dangean" still has very negative connotations for me. Stangely "Daingean Uí Chúis" has positive connotations as it appears in story and song and is how the people of Ceann Trá (Ventry) retfrerred to the town when I stayed there as a child.

When large corporations rebrand they conduct extensive quantative and qualitative surveys before proceeding. I dont think that Eamonn Cuiv has much of grasp of what international branding is.

Or democracy or common sense. His attitude is like the old Irish attitudes of the early / mid 20th century, when so many emmigrated to escape.
 
Re: Dingle Abú

What annoys me most is the waste of taxpayers money that O'Cuiv has spent on his own little ethnic cleansing policy when it come to Irish. Between the renaming or Irish towns and villages, the irish language Act - that requires all public bodies to produce all of their publications in Irish -and the foisting of irish on the EU as an official language, millions of euro have been wasted.

The Government should be diverting their energies to some ACTUAL problems in this country rather than some idiot Gaelgoir's pipedreams of an Ireland living and conversing through Irish...
