Looks like he was a hunger striker, his 45 year anniversary is coming up.
Probably some ‘RA head looking to get a conversation going about changing the street name from an English conquerer to a hunger striker.
I’d have no problem changing the name, but the hunger strikers are a contentious enough topic, not sure I’d be using one of their names.
Good idea. Don’t know why we kept any of their stupid street names. To say nothing of the ludicrous anglosised place names that sound ridiculous and make no sense
would love to see streets named after the hunger strikers
Hunger strikers were not good people.
How many ordinary people did they burn to death during their fire bombing campaign.
Remember their victims not them.
Loads of people worth renaming streets for. Should be doing it a few times a year and it should be people who deserve the honor.
I’d have a Delores street and a Sinead street for starters.
And in honor of Gay Byrne, I suggest we rename South Great George’s Street to Gay Street.
This country needs a deep clean post colonial scrub. Beyond shame some of the street names around
Should’ve renamed it Wessex Street
A lot of street names are still unfortunate, Nassau street is my least favourite, at least it’s Irish name is correct. Stráid Thobair Pádraig. edit to add St Patrick’s Well actually exists still, beneath the Trinity College entrance. Nassau is the alt name of William of Orange a notorious cunt who has no place in our Capital city centre.
Something will have to be done about what some CLOWNS are calling McCurtain st and the surrounding area ? You know what I mean ……!
Are there any streets named after women?
“Lasair dhearg” are a socialist republican group who formed in derry a few years ago who now have a group in dublin also. They posted earlier today about it on Instagram if anyone is interested.
They are anti good Friday agreement so not particularly popular but I can agree with the stunt regarding the street names surely we should be considering changing them to more deserving individuals rather than english colonialists.
I wish we’d get a lot more medieval and mythologyical references in symbolism
Even if I have complete sympathy for all lot of Republicans, I think especially for main streets and squares , the strongest symbolism and yet least politicians are these kinda figures.
Plus the likes of Light and Morrigan , they remind us we are on par with Ancient Iran, greece and Egypt . We ain’t just some post Roman identity like 90% of Europe , that’s pretty base
And also , as an Ulster man, ffs, O’Donnell, O’Neill and and Maguire, of all of Irish history to romantiaze, the last samurai of the gaels who went fully toe to toe with the English, won majority of times before a tragic fluke at kinsale… Doing us dirty with O’Connell’s streets just saying
Anglo-Saxon street name ahead of ainm sráide Gaeltacht. There is post-colonial thinking and Anglo-Saxon preferences even among our nationalists.
