The Placenames (Ceantair Ghaeltachta) Order 2004
Note: Section 48 of the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 amended the Placenames (Ceantair Ghaeltachta) Order 2004 (S.I. No. 872 of 2004) made under the Official Languages Act insofar as it relates to the placename 'An Daingean'. This amendment provides that 'Daingean Uí Chúis' in Irish and 'Dingle' in English are now the official placenames rather than 'An Daingean'. More information »
