The station is to be renamed Glinkastrasse. The street, which was previously in East Berlin, was named in 1951 after Russian composer Mikhail Glinka. But the trouble with him is that he had antisemitic views.
Has there been any talk of renaming some of our streets? Grafton, Talbot, Henry Streets, and all these gentlemen have, to say the least, interesting tales to tell about their behaviour towards the Irish.
On the other hand was Dublin ahead of the times in removing Nelson and Gough from the city skyline?
