An Gorta Mór was an act of Genocide, we must not honour those who presided over it.
Neither London, Paris, Moscow nor Washington have streets named after Adolf Hitler or Hermann Goering - but we have lots of streets and places named after Criminals and Aristocrats, individuals who have committed the worse crimes against our ancestors.
This is an issue of DIGNITY and SELF-RESPECT.
We must find ways to remember our history that are appropriate and that respect who we are.
We are inviting name suggestions, ones that would respect us and bring values we uphold to the fore. We have many names in the areas of science, sport, politics, culture, and we have many achievements worthy of honouring.
Let's respect our ancestors, let's respect ourselves?

The name of this evil queen, who allowed and probably instigated the genocide in Ireland by stealing the abundance of food at gunpoint from an unarmed populace, her name should be removed immediately.
We must begin to challenge all aspects of Britain's special relationship with Ireland . To quote Elie Wiesel To forget the victims means to kill them a second time. So I couldn't prevent the first death. I surely must be capable of saving them from a second death.
Ba bhrea liom go mbeidh ainmneacha na hEireann ar sraidneanna na hEireann.
We should be proud of our own heritage and our street names should reflect that.
Más mall, is mithid.
Way past time to decolonise ourselves. I don't see any Hitler Streets in Poland!
Moving to the Rebel County in the new year with my partner. Both of us are passionate about changing the names of the streets and get one tiny step closer to riding our Island of the murderous bastards who have enslaved us for 800 years!

We have many 'home grown' criminals, the resources of our country and the future of our children continues to be sold-out. But, none of them compare to the genocide presided over by Victoria. Naming a street after someone is to honour them, surely we have better values?
