The Cliffs of Dooneen is an Irish ballad made famous by Planxty. It is often performed by Christy Moore. The song was written by Jack McAuliffe from Lixnaw, County Kerry about the cliffs around Dooneen Point near Beale, North Kerry in the south west of Ireland. == Confusion over the location == The mention of the west coast of County Clare and the towns of Kilkee and Kilrush have made the song a County Clare anthem, with the words "Cliffs of Dooneen" often changed to "Hills of Moveen", a location a few miles west of Kilkee. This has led to confusion over the location of the cliffs which some assume to have be in Clare rather than in Kerry. In September 2010 the confusion was mentioned in a lighthearted Irishman's Diary article which provoked responses from the public in the follow up article.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2010/0911/1224278643551.html )〕 Dooneen Point is clearly marked on the historic Ordnance Survey of Ireland map.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Map of Dooneen Point )〕 The cliffs themselves can also be seen from satellite photos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Google Maps )〕 Some doubt the ability to see both Kilkee (on the north of the Clare peninsula) and Kilrush (on the south of the Clare peninsula) from North Kerry. The following photographs taken from the same spot show Beale, Kerry in the foreground with Clare towns in the distance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cliffs of Dooneen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
