Either that or literary figures such as Beckett or Joyce; still I suppose we should grateful they don't name it after Eurovision winners we could have the Dana Parkway or Logan International Airport or even Linda Martin st Station.

Call it after JFK all he has in Dublin is an aging industrial estate and there is precedent from the Schelde Tunnel in Antwerp

I think they should name it after someone cool like a super hero.

The Wolverine Tunnel or The Batman Tunnel would be cool. If they must name it after an Irish hero it should be the Fr. Pat Naoise Tunnel.

As long as no-one tries to resurrect Bosco as a superhero I've no objection

Richard Harris would be good for the Limerick Tunnel mind

More than likely some professional Dub will come up with something witty that rhymes.
