Dingle Peninsula has been named Ireland’s Greenest Place 2025 in an Irish Times competition.  The peninsula was cited for work done in sustainable farming — including tree planting and the creation of biodiversity habitats, sand dune conservation on the Maharees, showcasing local and sustainable products in local shops, and the promotion and use of the local link bus network.
