Description

Dublin City Council will discuss a proposal to de-name Herzog Park, named after the former Israeli president.

There have also been discussions about re-naming Dublin Airport, raising questions about whether de-naming property is a good idea or indeed if naming buildings after people is a good idea at all.

Matt is joined by Associate Professor of Political Science in DCU Eoin O’Malley and historian and lecturer in gender studies at UCD Dr Mary McAuliffe to discuss.
