Proposals to rename Orwell Road in Dublin as Independent Ukraine Road look set to be dropped, with Dublin city councillors reversing plans to pursue the name change.
Changing the name of the road, where the Russian embassy is located, was unanimously supported by a sub-committee of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council last week.
….The city council’s southeast area committee was expected to consider the renaming proposal on Monday, but the motion has been dropped.
Labour councillor Dermot Lacey who chairs the committee had initially put forward a motion to change the name to Volodymyr Zelenskiy Road, and later amended it to match the Dún Laoghaire motion. However, he said, he would not be tabling either motion.

Via Irish Times:
The driver of the truck, Co Leitrim businessman Desmond Wisley, was arrested for criminal damage following the incident on Orwell Road in south Dublin. There were no injuries.
“I just done this to create a safe corridor for the Russian ambassador to leave Ireland,” he said. “I want the ambassador and his colleagues to leave this country, leave this free country. It’s about time we stood up.”
“I’ve done my bit, lads. It’s about time the rest of Ireland done their bit,” he said as he was led away by gardaí.
Mr Wisley is part of a family-run ecclesiastical supplies business, supplying products to churches including wine, bread, altar cloths, banners, candles and vestments.
In an initial statement, a Russian embassy spokeswoman said: “The incident took place in the presence of Garda officers, who stood idle.
“The embassy is in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, demanding that the Irish authorities take comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of its staff and their family members.”

Today’s demonstration was to show our continuing solidarity with the Russian LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community in concurrence with the college-wide ban of Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble products. The decision to continue to protest against the Winter Olympics was made by Students’ Union Council in response to Russia’s ongoing violations of Human Rights Law and persecution of LGBTQ people.
