Question 414: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when the people of Dingle will be able to call their town Dingle again as per the wishes of the people as expressed in a recent plebiscite. [30958/07]

There is no prohibition on the people of the town calling it Dingle, or using Dingle in their private business or indeed their dealings with public bodies. The plebiscite — which proposed changing the official name of the town to Dingle-Daingean Uí Chúis — is a matter for the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and not my Department.
