Naming the New Liffey Bridge

Paddy Samurai

What you think of the list?.

The individual names on the shortlist include Willie Bermingham, founder of the charity Alone, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising James Connolly, founder of the Legion of Mary Frank Duff, Lady August Gregory and the late Dublin Central TD Tony Gregory.
Also on the list are writers Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats, Jonathan Swift, James Plunkett , Bram Stoker and scientists George Sigerson and Ernest Walton.
Camogie Legend Kay Mills and trade union activist Rosie Hackett are also shortlisted.
Three other shortlisted names are the Abbey Theatre Bridge, the Returned Home Bridge and the Patriots Bridge.

My Favourites are Patriots Bridge , James Connolly ,Tony Gregory or Bram Stoker ,in that order .

Anyone got any better names/ideas?.

Mr.

Imagine giving directions to tourists.
"Go down the quays, take a right over Mr. Bridge and then hang an immediate left."

The Ray Foley bridge?

As it's so close to the Abbey Theatre, I'd love to see it named after Yeats or Lady Gregory.

Is that New England Patriots?

Calling it Connolly Bridge when there is already a Connolly Station and O'Connell Steet nearby would just confuse tourists.

Bram Stoker Bridge sounds good to me.

In fairness we should call it like you see it. Should be named after some famous Roma gypsy in that case. Call it Abridgekebabbridge. Vomit arch or
something.

I always wonder how the government has money to build pointless bridges, pave roads and build more pointless infrastructure and no money to fix the HSE.
They've really seemed to get their priorities mixed up when they can go ahead and build some bridge no one asked for while allow hospital wards to be shut down due to budget cuts and short staff...

The Ernest Walton Bridge

That's a very closed minded, simple, and flawed analysis on how the budget should be spent.
