Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I must give voice again to the major outrage that exists in Dingle at the attitude and action of the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Éamon Ó Cuív. How can anybody at the stroke of a pen abolish such an area as an entity, and decree that a place of such long and honoured cultural heritage no longer exists? Many feel they are being called after a place in County Offaly, An Daingean. They do not want the name of any other town robbed for them.
