I support renaming the Cork, Ireland airport after it's own hometown hero, Rory Gallagher. I have traveled to Cork from Boston just to visit the hometown of Cork. Rory is the main reason why I play the guitar. I saw him perform live, and it changed my life. Richard Ladroga, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

I agree, long overdue. I do find it ironic that Rory Gallagher Airport would be named for a man who hated to fly.
