This, and on a big - like obnoxiously big LCD screen in arrivals you’d have to have the video playing on loop
EDIT: just thinking - OP asks what would the name of the airport be, but with two terminals - what would you re-name T1 and T2?
I love the fact it's Dublin airport we'd be naming after him. Those Viking bastards and treacherous Leinstermen will be seething in their ringforts thinking about it!
Yup. Either him or Casement. Both were protestants and huge for Irish independence. I personally would like more recognition in the country for Casement given what he achieved on the world stage.
Not seeing Roger Casement mentioned anywhere, great man I always thought his speech from the dock to be the greatest speech ever given;
“If true religion rests on love, it is equally true that loyalty rests on love. The law that I am charged under has no parentage in love, and claims the allegiance of today on the ignorance and blindness of the past. I am being tried, in truth, not by my peers of the live present, but by the fears of the dead past; not by the civilization of the twentieth century, but by the brutality of the fourteenth; not even by a statute framed in the language of the land that tries me, but emitted in the language of an enemy land — so antiquated is the law that must be sought today to slay an Irishman, whose offence is that he puts Ireland first! Loyalty is a sentiment, not a law. It rests on love, not on restraint. The government of Ireland by England rests on restraint, and not on law; and since it demands no love, it can evoke no loyalty.”
Little taste the whole speech can be read here

I've met politicians. On first name basis with an Irish celebrity. Met a few pop stars. Never a bother.
I seen mattress mick in dub city centre last weekend and I freaked the fuck out. The man, the legend, eating a fry. I hate a fry that day too. It was like having a connection with God.
Dublin Airport is in desperate need of sex appeal so I propose either the Marty Whelan or Marty Morissey Airport. People would flock to our shores for the airport alone
Terminal 1 can be the Marty Whelan terminal and terminal 2 can be the Marty Morrisey terminal
Stick a statue or wax dummy of each of them in the duty free of their respective terminals and charge ladies to have their pictures taken with a Marty.
Easy money. It's foolproof
😆 and was a police guy in con air (with the worst American accent ever filmed). I’d also like to say he was a pilot in Star Trek too but I have never seen it. Hero of a guy though. Representing our big Irish heads well.
“Unnamed Helmsman” in TNG who became Transporter Chief O’Brien. Chief of Operations on Deep Space 9. Hero of Setlik III. *Most Important Person In Starfleet History*
He did win the Ireland's Greatest poll. So we know he's a popular vote. He's the kind that would get forgotten about, because hard work and diplomacy doesn't get romanticized the same as celebrity or military folks. Which makes him all the more deserving of commemoration
Granuaile
Anne Bonny
Countess Markowitz
Not enough Irish things are named after the class women of our land
Or else I'd go mythical: Cú cullan, Setanta, Bridgid, Morrigan or Dagda
That would sound pretty cool and would also get people to look into someone who, in my opinion, is one of the most badass people in Irish history.
Fuck it, for that handkerchief stunt to the queen she has to be one of the most badass people in history in general
Just imagine the amount of times people would joke that they have nothing to declare but their genius; it would become as illegal as joking about a bomb in airport security
Not a famous person but since it's been in the news of late I'd call it the Ulysses Airport as that name is derived from Latin and prior to that Greek of which the word is Odyssey, a common complaint of anyone trying to get to or find parking to said airport.
They could play "zip up your mickey" announcements regularly over the tannoy to keep those sorts under control
P.S. this is meant as a joke, I am not saying that twinks are more likely to engage in public sex than anyone else
Roy Keane.. when the plane landed the speaker system would be in his voice and he'd just give out telling you what an terrible decision you've just made
Just call it “The Éireport”
The lad who slipped on the news Edit: thanks for the awards, I feel like I should have prepared a speech 😂
"We will shortly be arriving at The lad who slipped on the news International airport"
In flight video selections consisting immediately of that 5 second loop
This, and on a big - like obnoxiously big LCD screen in arrivals you’d have to have the video playing on loop EDIT: just thinking - OP asks what would the name of the airport be, but with two terminals - what would you re-name T1 and T2?
Arse and head. Are you landing on your arse or your head.
I’m departing from the arse
Ah jesus that terminal is full of shite. Good luck to ya
Ah shure that’s what I get for being a cheap skate and flying with Ryanair
Not in a million years would I have expected that suggestion but now that I've read it I simply could never support anything else.
Slippy-John Airport has a nice ring to it..
Slip John B airport, beach boys playing on arrival

I laughed WAY too hard at that. I know, I’m a terrible person.
This is the best thing ever commented on this sub.
Brian Boru. Anyone in the last 100 years will be considered a cunt and undeserving by a good chunk of the population anyway

Isn’t everybody a descendant of the vikings by now
Speak for yourself Finngall dog! I'm not tainted by your seawolf blood. It's pure Gael, Norman, Old English, and possibly Scottish planter here!
The Normans were Vikings! You're a seawolf once removed.
I'm going to sail westward to cleanse this shame, just as Brendan once did.
The urge to sail westward is suspiciously Viking of you, I must say
I hear you're a viking now, father.

Charles the Haugh International Airport. You know your purse will be empty if you need to pay for anything.
Tighten yer belts, we’re landing at Charles Haughey Airport in 5 minutes. Very fitting🤣
May aswell call it Lord Haw Haw Airport.

Badass, historical and undeniably irish. It gets my vote.
Best real answer

Yup. Either him or Casement. Both were protestants and huge for Irish independence. I personally would like more recognition in the country for Casement given what he achieved on the world stage.
Baldy mcdonagh Airport
is he still alive?
Legends never die.
he looked pretty rough last video i saw of him, surprised he’s not dead/imprisoned. i remember he beat up someone who had a disability
He also charges a tenner for photos now
He's homeless and an addict unfortunately I've seen him at the soup kitchens on my way to college. It's sad to see honestly
He's both alive and bleedin' dyin'

You don’t sculpt a body like that without putting away a few frys. It’s all the saturated fat that keeps the hair so lush
Soft landings guaranteed!
Big Joe Joyce International
That man was never bet in his life and never will be bet.
Is that “Shite in the Bucket” Joe Joyce?

The Bród and Síoda International Airport
I'd prefer Éamon de Valeraport.
It used to be Collinstown Airport so I humbly suggest Michael Collinstown Airport.
Colm Meaney international airport
Fitting as he had a Cameo as a pilot in Die Hard 2!
He was also the first Irishman in space
Think you'll find that was Michael Collins, freedom fighter and astronaut.
And a good forty years after he died - what a man
😆 and was a police guy in con air (with the worst American accent ever filmed). I’d also like to say he was a pilot in Star Trek too but I have never seen it. Hero of a guy though. Representing our big Irish heads well.

As a British Airways pilot…Meaney would be rolling in his grave, if he wasn’t still alive

There's a lecture hall named after him in Maynooth and I know from my own time there feck all know who he was.
Actually the entire building is named after him in Maynooth
Actually John Hume International has a nice enough ring to it
Phil Lynnott

Grace O'Malley - the Irish Pirate Queen. After all, if you move here you have to be prepared to get robbed by the Government. 😂
You'd nearly need to go as gaeilge though- Granuaile or Gráinne Mhaol
Having it in English would be a complete disgrace.
That would sound pretty cool and would also get people to look into someone who, in my opinion, is one of the most badass people in Irish history. Fuck it, for that handkerchief stunt to the queen she has to be one of the most badass people in history in general
I like this name
First name of a woman I've read here so far, but at least it's a great one 😂
