Dear Dingle News,

I see from your report on www.dinglenews.com that visitor numbers were down again this year.
I believe there has been a steady decline since the swansea/cork ferry stopped running in 2006. Well the new ferry, the Julia, will be starting up again on the 1st of  March 2010. So we will be able to see if there is any change in the numbers coming to the Kerry/Cork region. To help your readers the new company can be found on www.fastnetline.co.uk where they will soon be taking bookings. The new ferry holds 1860 passengers, 440 cars, 30 trucks and has seven bars, restaurants. with 300 cabins the over night crossings could not be easier.I for one will be on this ferry at least 4 times a year it will be so easy to visit bringing my own car with me.

Regards,

Norman Stuart.

A Chara,
I live at the The Wood in Dingle, which is residential, and feel that it is time to put pen to paper regarding the constant excessive speeds at which motorists travel past my door throughout the day and well into the night. It is becoming scary and I fear for the safety of myself and my neighbours.
In the past week alone two hubcaps have been deposited on the footpath outside my door by drivers who have come too close at very fast speeds. I have let the Gardaí know in the past about the growing dangerous situation.
I inquire now from you about the possibility of getting ramps installed in the street and /or the procedure for getting such action in motion. I will have no problem following this letter with a petition from my neighbours if that is necessary. 

Regards,

John J O'Connor
No. 122 The Wood,
Dingle.

Dear Dingle News,

Just a note to let you know that we appreciate your paper here in the States. We will be visiting Dingle in August and we are using it to plan some of our activities.

Keep up the good work!
