There are several places throughout Ireland named Dooneen. (Little Fort). The only "Dooneen" that would have a view of Kilrush and Kilkee is Dooneen Point in north Kerry. I sang this song recently and was taken to task by a man who said he was from that locality (I sang two words incorrectly). When I told him that the cliffs don't really exist he insisted that they do and was highly offended. Because of his manner I did not ask him to elaborate as to size or height of the "cliffs"
