Naming civic landmarks

Summary

Senator Mulherin continued the discussion of naming a bridge after a former President, prompting repeated interventions from the Chair and interjections from other Senators.

This is very opportune and timely. I say to the Senator that Fianna Fáil members in my own town were afraid to call a bridge after the same President. The Fianna Fáil attitude toward that particular President is pretty political.

Senator, we cannot name people.

It is easy to work out when one mentions a bridge to know where she is from.
