Travel Tips
Lough acoose in Kerry yeah?

The name 鈥楰erry鈥?comes from the Old Irish word Ciarraige meaning the people of Ciar, an early Celtic tribe that settled in the area around 300 BC.

As for Acoose it took me awhile but it means 'lake of the two caves', good trout fishing there. Source(s): For more definitions of irish place names this link is a goldmine:
