Victoria was the famine queen and was the figure-head for a nation that let over a million Irish people die of hunger while food was being exported from Irish ports to Britain. Thankfully we never named any of our streets or avenues after Trevelyn.
Yeah, I think it had something to do with the (presumably) Victorian architecture there - See the Metropole and the buildings opposite. As I say I think it's a bit silly trying to deny or rename what's widely accepted as the Victorian or Edwardian ages.
What point are you trying to make there fella? A million dying of starvation while food was exported from Irish ports under british rule. I'm sure the labourers were thankful to have a job to earn money to put food on their family's table. It's those higher up calling the shots that could and should have made the change. But maybe you just don't quite get that
I think Diarmuid O'Cadhla is a fairly erudite well intentioned bloke. Yeah his ideas aren't shared by all but I think his heart is in the right place and unlike John O'Donovan he's willing to listen to others. Though yes he does seem to be pretty unelectable
