Fianna Fáil TD Malcom Byrne’s bill to rename Dublin Airport after former taoiseach Seán Lemass has advanced to a second stage in the Dáil.
Malcom Byrne says the proposed rename would recognise Lemass’s vision that transformed Ireland and opened global gateways. Lemass welcomed US president John F Kennedy to Dublin Airport in 1963.
A broader debate on the bill’s intentions took place.
Malcom Byrne shared “It’s about recognising a leader whose vision transformed Ireland and whose polices opened the gateway through which millions now pass.” Malcom Byrne shared “Renaming Dublin Airport after Seán Lemass would be a fitting tribute to a man who stood for progress, ambition and opportunity.”
