"A proposal to rename a park in Dublin named after an Israeli president is not "legally sound", the city council has heard."
"Lord Mayor Ray McAdam said regulations under legislation governing place names, which was changed in 2019, have not yet been made and "therefore there is currently no legal basis" for holding a ballot on the park's name."
A proposal to rename a Dublin park currently named after an Israeli president was judged not legally sound. The city council received confirmation that regulations required under the place-names legislation, amended in 2019, have not yet been made. Lord Mayor Ray McAdam stated that, because those implementing regulations remain unissued, there is no legal basis to conduct a ballot on the park’s name. The lack of enacted regulations prevents the council from initiating any formal public vote or administrative action to change the park’s official name at this time.
