    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!!

    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

    Jason Sherlock International Airport FTW. Other good ones could be Forty Coats International Airport, Socky The Sockmonster International Airport or just The Edgeport.

    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 :D

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

    And the fact that he's not from Dublin. It's Dublin Airport, not Cork.

    The runways at Dublin wouldn't be big enough.
