Default Hats off to Dublin City Councillors
Dublin City Councillors have voted in the next Development Plan to name all new residential developments in Irish. The policy was voted in in Galway City in the early 90's and then followed some years ago in Shannon. The policy was voted in only a few weeks ago in Navan.

Críona Ní Dhálaigh (SF) put down the motion and I heard there was a big clap when the motion was passed.

Well done to all the councillors!!!

New residential developments? What are they smoking. Maybe we should name the first one "wakywakyeggs&bakey boulevard" and see how they get on translating that. Good to see that in these dark times that DCC have their eye on the ball. This is the sort of nonsense that makes people just roll their eyes.
