I saw them too by the footbridge on Sullivan's Quay, there was a similar street re-naming postering campaign last year, I wonder did they get permission to put up these posters?

You can put up any posters that you like brah as long as you advertise a public meeting on them.

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.
