The Kennedy connection is overdone.

The bridge should be named after an Irish person, who spent their life here and contributed to our history / economy / heritage etc

Rose Kennedy has nothing to do with New Ross. Eileen Gray is a good Wexford woman of world renown if you want a Wexford woman to call it after.

Suggest - Martin Doyle Bridge - New Ross Man awarded VC in WW1 - Munster Fusiliers - Later in Old IRA in War of independence - in Irish Army thereafter.

Kennedy name overkill esp when the woman never set foot in the area. Keep it local. There are enough far more deserving local people to name the bridge after.

It saddens me that there was no public consultation regarding the naming of the bridge.

Surely it's time to be more creative than just flogging the Kennedy name again.

I Think it really should be called All Soles Bridge in memory of all who Lost there lives in Barrow or the People's Bridge

No to the name suggested .... It's up to the local residents living in New Ross / Kilkenny they should have a say in it

The Kennedy name has done a lot for tourism in the area but it's time for a change and to let the people pick a suitable name for the new bridge
