Please dont name Dublin airport after Sean Lemass

I think naming transport hubs is stupid. They should just be called what the desis.

Its the airport for Dublin so nothing is a better name than Dublin airport.

Well they renamed the RDS to the Laya stadium so anything goes

I agree it shouldn’t be renamed, but a bit of google would go towards understanding why his name has been suggested. He helped transform Ireland completely.

He does deserve recognition of some sort, maybe Dublin Port would be more apt considering his influence on trade.

It's utter nonsense. They must have nothing to better to do with their time. Jesus Wept!

Dublin port should be named after Charle Haughey or Bertie seeing as the money hungry whores rode the whole country.

Jeeez, just leave as is. I’d imagine there will be a significant six figure cost in terms of changing signage on / in the buildings, updating liveries on all the DAA vehicles, in house documentation / IT etc.

The airport operates fine and has done for decades, just simply called Dublin Airport, or as Dublin people refer to it as just ‘ the airport ‘. Way too many gobaloons in decision making positions in this country now…

No members of the public will ever call it Lemass airport after all this time so it’s really just a vanity / back slapping project.

I'm struggling to see the rationale here, both for renaming the airport as an idea in and of itself and of doing it after Sean Lemass. Surely if the name were to be changed, the obvious choice would be Michael Collins or Eamon de Valera.

Athens' airport is named after Eleftherios Venizelos who was the architect of the modern Greek state. Paris has one named after Monsieur de Gaulle. It's not necessarily a bad idea but at this stage, it just seems like a waste of money as the airport would have to rebrand itself.

This seems like a very silly idea to me.

As much as Michael Collins loved Dublin, spent so much time in the capital, and is ultimately laid to rest there, if Dublin Airport is ever formally named after a person, it will almost certainly be after a Dubliner. Perfect for Cork Airport though!

The last time I was involved in a "simple backend change" we had to get a consultant out of retirement because the system was so old. Which guess what? Cost a lot of $$$.

"Not sure it's worth the hassle". Of course it's not worth the hassle. There is zero benefit, will cost money, and we get lectured and taxed all in the name of sustainability, climate change etc. This change would be wasteful and it is completely unnecessary.
