Dublin Bridge To Be Named After Rosie Hackett
Dublin City Council have announced that the newest bridge over the Liffey, which sits between O'Connell Bridge and Butt Bridge, is to be named after trade union activist, Rosie Hackett.
Rosie Hackett was a leading trade unionist during the 1913 Lockout and the 1916 Rising and was a founding member of the Irish Women Workers' Union.
Hackett had become an earlier favourite from the list of potential names after it was noted that not one of the 16 bridges between Hueston Station and the East Link were named after a woman.
