If Dublin Airport was to renamed who would it be named after?

Jigsaw

Was just thinking with the recent renaming up here to George Best Belfast City Airport, and in Liverpool the Liverpool John Lennon Airport etc, what do you all think would be a good name to add to Dublin Airport and why.

I know most people tend to be dead before they get an airport named after them but I don't see why that should necessarily be the case.

So fire away!!

Michael Collins International Airport

It would have to be one of the great writers... Joyce or Wilde...

But I think I'll go with Myles na gCopaleen International Airport.

I think it should be someone with more international appeal than a revolutionary.
Someone from the arts maybe. Jack B Yeats International Airport sounds nice

Nah by then I will have taken over the world and it will be called The Almighty Cushion International Airport as will all airports. Could make things a little confusing but meh!

Somehow I can see naming it after an Isreali trans-sexual eurovision singer having a small bit of opposition

How about Herman Munster International? A man loved by all and known throughout the civilised world.

If we moved it about 50 miles from Dublin and forced everyone arriving to pay for an expensive coach ride to the city we could call it Ryan Airport

You'd have to move it to Port Laoise for it to qualify as Ryanair Dublin Airport.

That doesnt matter, he fought for independance for Ireland not just Cork, anyhow there's streets all over Dublin named after him.

Feral Mutant

I think it should be named after me because I'm great. In fact, I think Shannon Airport should be named after me too, just in case.

Very few real sugestions so far, I think the OP was looking for genuine opinions tbh...though maybe AH isn't the place for them :rolleyes:

I'd say it could go to Collins - im not sure if Collinstown was named after him...?

Mushy

Meh, I bet in a few decades it'll be Bono or Bob Geldof International Airport.

Sorry for quoting from the first page, but if it does end up being called either of those, I'm leaving the country 1) before the name is changed and 2) never coming back.

Something like the Yeats International Airport, someone recognised more internationally. Or dare I say it, the Ahern International Airport?

Mary Robinson international airport>?

What about the Joe Jacob International Airport - he of the iodine fiasco of 2002

it would be fitting to name it after someone totally incompetent, as that seems to be the ethos promoted by it.

totally incompetent, as that seems to be the ethos promoted by it.

What do you mean by that? The airport is developing nicely...

I'd say it is, there's no other Collins I know of that they'd name it after.
