Did it ever take place? I am really amused by the whole fuss, and find it clearly ludicrous what happened at Co Ciarraí Council. When polonised town and city names had been changed with Lithuanian ones after WW I, not a single person had a word to say ;-))

Not yet. And apparently only ratepayers in the townland of An Daingean (two or three streets out of the whole town) will be entitled to vote.

No one outside Dingle Dangle had a thing to say either, and they didn't have a thing to say until the thing was being put in place.

Dalta: ???

There is NO change of name. There is only historical unjustice undone. But evidently some agents of the British Crown have received instructions otherwise - my only guess...

What I said was a bit unclear, I'll go again:

No one in the Gaeltacht outside Dingle complained about the name-change, and the people from Dingle didn't complain at the time when the gov gave them the opportunity.

I'm not an agent of the British crown, I was taking the piss of the anti-Daingean inhabitants when I said Dingle Dangle, I got it from an article in Feasta that proposed Dingle Dangle Jingle Jangle should be the new name because they're all equally as meaningless as the word 'Dingle'.
