Dr. Mark Clinton:

I would agree. In a rural context, when an area has a name that has been long-standing and everyone associates themselves with that place, to come along and change it arbitrarily seems unacceptable because it is going against the history and tradition of the place. Hence, we have ludicrous names like “Tuscany Avenue” where it becomes surrealistic. I would have thought Cork City Council would have to authorise these things.
