Morgan Brophy from Garveys Store Dingle from Dingle keep an eye for Fungie -
In Fungie s Kingdom, his scuba diving partner, Ronnie Fitzgibbon, who often wrote poems about the dolphin, remembers the first day Fungie allowed the divers to touch him.
“For two years we were swimming along trying to touch him every time and no matter how near you went to him he just backed away and then it happened one day, he stayed and that was the start, it was unreal.
“If you tickled him under the chin, he’d turn the head and you’d do the other side and he liked to be touched on the nose.
