Name sought for new Dingle Road
The new relief road, between Dingle's Mail Road (Tralee Road) and John Street opened last Friday, marking a major development in the town's infrastructure. The road runs alongside the new Dingle Hospital and Páirc an Aghasaigh through land which was kindly donated by the Shane Connor and his family. Now, the search is on for this new road and the adjacent roundabout; Kerry County Council and the Dingle Business Chamber say that they will invite submissions in naming the road. There have been quite a few popular suggestions so far; the Fr. Rory O'Connor Road, O'Connor Road, Dr. Finbarr O'Shea Road are two of the first to have been mentioned locally. Contact John B Sheehy of the Dingle Business Chamber for more information or send your ideas to press.officer@kerrycoco.ie or Roads Department, County Buildings, Rathass, Tralee. With no UDC or town council, many decisions seem to be made on Dingle's behalf in Tralee and local people often feel that things to do with their own town are often out of their hands. This is one area where local people should have a real say, in naming this new road something which means something to the people of the town and surrounding area.
