Dún Chaoin
Dún Chaoin has a population of 184 (Census 2016) and farming, tourism services and part-time fishing are the main livelihoods of its populance. Many others work in Dingle town and other towns.
Is í an Ghaeilge teanga mhuintir Dhún Chaoin agus táimid bródúil as an ngreim atá againn ar ár gcultúr dúchais agus as na nascanna atá againn le sliocht na n-imirceach a thug aghaidh ar shaol nua i Meiriceá, Sasana agus i dtíortha eile.
