Which they will sooner or later as I just heard the issue raised now on Newstalk. BTW, laughing at a post that you don't agree with is not a valid form of argument.

No problem questioning the status quo but I happen to think this is ridiculous. Parnells will have to change their name because of something CS Parnell did 140 years ago. Same with clubs named after Michael Davitt. Did The O'Rahilly do something to upset the permanently offended in 1916 that would cause all the Rahillys teams to change their names. Where do we stop? Anyway, I have no doubt that this whole nonsense will die down and that the Mitchels wont be changing their name to some airy-fairy PC friendly name anytime soon. BTW - I would find it equally ridiculous if people in Offaly wanted to change the name of Obama Plaza because of the countless civilians killed by US forces during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during his term.
