Description

A row over Rathgar’s Herzog Park in south Dublin has snowballed into a global reckoning with Ireland’s colonial past. From suburban greens to street signs, we explore how the politics of renaming is reshaping the map of modern Ireland. As of Tuesday December 3rd, Dublin city councillors have decided to withdraw their proposal to “de-name” Herzog Park. We want to earn your trust and are members of the Trust Project.
