We spoke about this on the show before, but it really is a great opportunity to have your say in naming a new bridge.
A new bridge is currently being built across the Liffey between Marlborough Street and Hawkins Street. Dublin City Council has recently set up a Commemorative Naming Committee who will consider proposals to honour, celebrate, or remember a person, group of people or events of significance that have helped to shape the City of Dublin.
The Committee are now looking for your help in putting forward suggestions for the naming of the new bridge. This opportunity to assist the Committee in making their final recommendation is open to all members of the public, be it a group or individual.
Application Forms and criteria are available from the Culture, Recreation and Amenity Department of Dublin City Council or can be downloaded in both Irish and English.
Completed application forms can be sent to Commemorative Naming Committee, C/O Culture, Recreation and Amenity Department, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8 or e-mailed directly to cra@dublincity.ie
The closing date for submissions is Friday 19th April, 2013 at 5.00 p.m.
It's current name is, The Marlborough Street Public Transport Priority Bridge. We can do better!
Producer John always like to point out that no bridge on the Liffey in Dublin City is named after a woman.
