Sign with English name blanked out in Kerry

The Placenames Order introduced by Eammon O'Cuiv has led to councils being forced to blank out English names of Gaeltacht towns, such as this Kerry example. A picture I didn't get to take though, was that all the ones for An Daingean had the English name Dingle added back in by locals!

The road to Dingle Approaching from the east on the N86.

Dingle from the Main Road N86 The railway followed this section of road on the left. The Station was not far from the road sign.

Dingle Town Centre This street houses many eating places and a few shops. The tourist information centre is on the opposite side of the road to this row of buildings. This view looks west along the road and is on the northern edge of the grid square of the map, at gpr Q44460-00994.

The N86 meets the L12078 Road junction on the N86 heading to Baile an Mhamhnaigh. Notice the signage in just Irish.

There is no longer a railway here, however the Railway Bar has many fragments of memorabilia, both inside and out of the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway, a narrow gauge railway which used to run nearby.

Road warnings on the Connor Pass This is at the top of the Connor Pass, where the R560 road narrows and descends on its way to the north-east. It crosses the face of the cliffs on a ledge and is interesting; the warning signs need to be heeded !

Head of the Connor Pass The final kilometre of the Connor Pass road up to the summit from the north is very narrow and dramatically carved out of the mountainside.
