Not meds my friend, gobstoppers!

Are any of ye interested in this? I've been following some posts here about the naming of our new bridge over the Liffey. Read about it here http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0516/450...dge-shortlist/

I never heard of some of those folk but I believe Walton is the only Irish person to get a Nobel for prize something other than poetry or peacemaking viz., something science-y. Now I'm sure with all the brains on O & O's ye can come up with something better than the suggestions already sent in. Come on I know you can liven it up a bit!!

P.S. Chuckie, no, I gave up Eurovision years ago. I heard a bit of the Irish one on a trailer last night, sounds ok.

My fav suggestion has been The Danial Day LUAS bridge. I would have liked it to been called after Constable Shanahn whose memorial was dismantled during the build of the bridge. Page 29 of this...

That sounds a good idea OG.

Jellybaby1 · 17-05-2013, 20:54

Brilliant idea OG! I always meant to take a photo of that monument and now its gone. Anyone know if its to be moved nearby? I might just vote for Sheahan now.

Daniel Day Luas - clever one as well!! Doesn't beat Sheahan for me though!

Council are going to replace it after the bridge construction.

Rubecula · 17-05-2013, 23:02

where is the bridge going to and where from OG?

EDIT: will it be a car or a foot bridge?

**OldGoat** · 17-05-2013, 23:22

The bridge is well under construction. The span is almost complete and after that they just have to lay the surface and the tracks. It runs from Mal;borough Street on the northside (just by the Abbey Theater) to Hawkins Street on the southside. It's for the LUAS and buses.

Public transport across north to south has always been terrible. If I didn't know better I'd think that the good folk of Grafton Street and it's environs didn't want us northsiders to call by.

I am going to need a new streetmap of Dublin. (Apart from the fact I left my old one in Pearse Street Library)

We buy a new map of Dublin every couple of years. If we didn't we'd get lost!
