the wiki links to the wrong town. LAhinch is in county clare, here is the correct wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahinch BTW all the locals use A not E, it was the national roads authority than inflicted LE onto the town a few years ago when they also changed the spellings of dozens of other villages and towns. e.g. Ennistymon is now being spelled Ennistimon on the new road signs, Corofin has gained an extra r to become Corrofin. At least in Lahinch the E is the same size as an A so can be changed by activists.
