Controversial plans to rename a bridge over the Royal Canal "Bloody Sunday Bridge" were approved by Dublin City Council on Monday night.
The city centre bridge was previously known as Clonliffe Bridge or Russell Street Bridge. The new name was first mooted by the Central Area to commemorate the killing of 14 innocent civilians in Croke Park on November 21, 1920.
The first two victims - William ‘Perry’ Robinson, 11, and Jerome O’Leary, 10 - were killed by shots fired from the bridge. It was decided the proposal would go out to public consultation.
