We should be proud of our own heritage and our street names should reflect that.

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?

How about Charles Hockey or Ennda Kenny? or anyone of our home grown Criminals? Like it or not theses old names of long dead people are part of our history which is a long way from the truth as written. We won independence independence from what? so we could become the country with then largest national debit of any nation in Europe? Our problems were often of our own making by our fellow Irishmen much as it is still today. Let us not forget who it was who loaned Ireland 4 billion within 24 hours when we could not even pay the Guardia A long time ago? NO 2008 Who gives a damn about silly names NOW is when our problems are not then GET REAL.

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.
