Rename it Connacht Hell Road and that will put Cromwell in perspective. We’ve got to situate streets, statues and institutions in perspective, you see.
The Dude
Cromwell’s lot were iconoclasts – disfiguring sculptures in Christ Church and elsewhere – so this seems weirdly appropriate.

Maybe we can change all the viking place names too…. that’ll show them… scandi scum!

Can someone explain why the posh areas kept their Brit names but the slums are named after Irish patriots? There is scope for replacing some colonial names, e.g. Lansdowne Road. How about Liam Brady Road?
Bobby
He was such a good player I’d re-name O’Connell Street for him, tbh. I actually think Lansdowne has transcended its origin at this stage but there should be a thoroughfare named for Brady someplace for sure.

Chapelizod is a beautiful village but it does have a bang of plantation about it. Half expect to see a Spitfire doing a barrel roll over it.

Considering so many of Ireland’s greatest players were English they should call it Albert Square.
…. the stupidity of these victim culture people never ceases to amaze me. Wahh wahh wahh… I’m a victim.
Look, it comes down to what you want to arm your children with: Knowledge or Opinions. I want my kids to ask: “Who was Cromwell and why is this named after him?” rather than the “Vegan, Rainbow, non-binary, disabled, Muslim, Single-Mom, Cyclist-only, Safe-Space” it’s bound to be renamed to.

That’s you just projecting all of your biases onto a post that really has nothing to do with any of the nonsense littering your post.
Historically, Cromwell’s name has always been dirt in this country, and for good reason. This kind of graffiti is hardly new.

if cromwell built a fort there then what on earth is the place going to be know as? in exactly the same way we named our towns and villages after fortified settlements of all kinds in gaelic? to be honest i’d be more offended at ‘mcdonalds street’ or ‘starbucks plaza’.
this is the same crowd who went around dublin spraying over street signs named after ascendency and royalty figures i presume. while i have no great love for the tans, capitalism or ‘the ruling classes’, unfortunately we wouldn’t have dublin without them.

It does beg the question though, what were they thinking when they came up with the name?
Matt Fitzpatrick
They were probably thinking about how to get to his Fort
Just as an interesting side bar here
The lad that was at this in Cork
Changing out street names, burning EU flags etc
Diarmaid Ó Cadhla
Didn’t hold the seat he got by a co-opt on Cork City Council
Barely broke 3% in the LE2019
SIPO dissident as well
He ran in Cork North Central there in February, and gawd love him, .4% – yep, thats a point before the 4%
And its not that the Constituency might have been a poor choice, it elected Mick Barry handy enough
Morta, for a lad that’s never off the local media down there
Even PRoC have a thread on him that must be 30 pages deep

10/10.
sick burn, man.
Can someone fill me in
ICI?
Ta.
it’s something charger has made up, like everything that spews from his orifices it’s nothing to be too concern about.
we should rate charger’s post in likewise fashion. what would you call the scale, i wonder. ‘Hubris Quotient’? or just plain old ‘W@nkometer’?
Cian has suggested the Charger Mystical Index (CMI).
His post in the UN thread sketches out the parameters.
Yeah, mebbe

Let’s not get inta the naming streets after lads playing the foreign game
Name them all after players of our own game instead

Send em down to Wexford to do a bit more redecorating!
