It's a joke why not name it after a hero from the town or the barrow bridge.

Stop banging on about the bloody kennedys already. Move forward not backwards. We're not American.

As a Rossonian I believe that the name proposed is wholly inappropriate, because the individual never lived in the town and has no association with the town. This bridge should be named after someone or event that means something to the people of New Ross. The memory of the Kennedy family has been honoured enough.

This is another stuipd idea that is to kiss arse and its time to grow up and think of others

Time to move on from the kennedys now. A town of over 800 years of history, surely we have more to offer than 45 minutes of a past president of a different country

There are enough places in the New Ross area named after the Kennedy family.

I believe the people of New Ross should have a major say in the naming of the bridge and it should be based on local geography and people. The Kennedys have been honoured in many ways already.

My suggestion as a name for the new bridge should be any of the following two. Olympic Bridge or The Rising Bridge

I support Séamus proposal... Consider other options and give the public a day in naming the new bridge.

Let the local people from close to the site of the Bridge from the 3 Sister Counties (Wexford,Waterford and Kilkenny) decide by a vote.

I think the town is full of Kennedy stuff give someone else a chance to shine....or at least be a small bit inventive and not so lazy :) x

In very bad taste considering her son Teds involvement in the very auspicious death of young woman at chappaquiddick bridge
