Theres an interesting bit in it about not wanting to think about it. I wonder if overnight the layer of slavery era names were removed, people would start thinking about a the local dynasties in that area or across Ireland...



The slow slow march to possibly being honest about life in Ireland at present in a national sense will be halted by thinking not sitting well.

It is ultimately up to them. But if we're gonna start renaming things, let's take all the English names off shit first.
It would at least flush out a lot of West Brits

We're gonna have a much harder time with Irish nationalist heroes that had godawful but common takes back in the 19th century.
Also, a bad look to start cleansing Irish Prods from our history. We need them for the appearance of balance.


Hilarious to me that even after reading O'Toole's piece, Ellen Kenny of Newstalk thinks the guy's surname is Mitchels.
 
Fun fact on the renaming bit - trinity’s formal name is ‘The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin’. (Actually there’s a longer version with a preamble about the provost and fellows)

Decolonialise that lads - Liz 1 kicked the whole empire show off!
 
It's mad that the brits went all over the shop renaming shit, as did the Irish but doing it at home apparently is more difficult than alchemy or something. I always find this one funny. It might actually outlast it's source...

"Menlo" is derived from Menlo (the anglicized spelling of Irish Gaelic 'Mionloch', meaning 'small lake') in County Galway, Ireland. The name "Menlo Park" was given to a ranch purchased by Irish settlers in honor of their home village in Ireland
