It`s a disgrace to even consider naming the bridge, JFK Bridge, J.P. Mc Manus has done more for this City than all the politicians put together....

Limerick has many fine sons and daughters if you are really looking to change the name of the bridge.

Stop this pandering - change it to that of a deserving person from Limerick or Clare

JP McManus is a more fitting title for the bridge and he very much deserves this honour

this is not an appropriate name for one of our most famous bridges.....it should be named after a local hero in limerick who gave up most of his time working with people preventing suicide.....john corbett of corbettsuicide prevention between the bridges of limerick

JFK was a drug using, womanising, warmonger. It should be called Patrick O'Brien bridge as a timely reminder of how poor children can be so harshly treated.

JFK has nothing to do with Limerick. Why not name it Richard Harris Bridge?

All I have to say is that JFK has done nothing for Limerick City, lets me logical here look at the generousity of JP. McManus. He deserves recognition for what he has done in Limerick.

We already have a school named after JFK. This bridge should be called after the many Limerick Hero's of our proud city, Harris Bridge, Kate O' Brien Bridge, JP McManus Bridge. Practice what you preech Limerick Council & being proud of Limerick & it's hero's.
