Dingle
Dingle is the only town on the Dingle Peninsula on the west coast of Ireland.
Principal industries in the town are tourism, fishing and agriculture.
Since 1984 a common bottlenose dolphin has frequented the Dingle harbour area.
He has been given the name Fungie and has become a major attraction for visitors.
He regularly shows up when tour boats go out to meet him.
Normally bottlenose dolphins swim in pods, but Fungie seems to prefer human contact rather than interaction with his own species.
