I think the departure from naming our naval ships after characters in Irish mythology is a mistake. These are beautiful names and reflect our unique heritage; no other country has this. We have few enough traditions which are uniquely our own, let us nurture such, developing pride in who we are as a people, and not cast them away for a vague notion of 'selling' Ireland.
