A hot topic at the moment. When updating the signage in 2011 the Council used the “official legal spelling of the towns, derived from documentation written before the formation of the State, was used to replace the traditional local spellings which had appeared on all signage for the past 100 years.”

A bit cool?
I can cut glass with my nipples
Not ‘Lehinch’ then?
That always confused me. Every second sign post seems to spell it differently, Lehinch vs Lahinch
