Ballyferriter Ballyferriter (Irish: "Baile an Fheirtéaraigh" , meaning "Ferriter's townland" , ] or "An B[h]uailtín"),), is a Gaeltacht village in County Kerry, Ireland. It is in the west of the Corca Dhuibhne (Dingle) peninsula and according to the 2002 census, about 75% of the town's population speak the Irish language on a daily basis. The village is named after the Norman-Irish Feiritéar family who settled in Ard na Caithne in the late medieval period and of whom the seventeenth-century poet and executed leader, Piaras Feiritéar, was a member. The older Irish name for the village "An B[h]uailtín" ("the little dairy place") is still used locally.
