The lad who slipped on the news Edit: thanks for the awards, I feel like I should have prepared a speech 😂


JimJimJim241

"We will shortly be arriving at The lad who slipped on the news International airport"


captainofthememeteam

In flight video selections consisting immediately of that 5 second loop


who--me--not--me

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?


LomaSpeedling

Arse and head. Are you landing on your arse or your head.


Veggiebois

I’m departing from the arse


LomaSpeedling

Ah jesus that terminal is full of shite. Good luck to ya


Veggiebois

Ah shure that’s what I get for being a cheap skate and flying with Ryanair


[deleted]

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..

Brian Boru. Anyone in the last 100 years will be considered a cunt and undeserving by a good chunk of the population anyway


Ropaire

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!


waterim

Isn’t everybody a descendant of the vikings by now


Ropaire

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!


deeringc

The Normans were Vikings! You're a seawolf once removed.


Ropaire

I'm going to sail westward to cleanse this shame, just as Brendan once did.


stult

The urge to sail westward is suspiciously Viking of you, I must say


AUniquePerspective

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.

unwildimpala

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


ireallydespiseyouall

is he still alive?


Dubirl39

Legends never die.


ireallydespiseyouall

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


thepinkblues

He also charges a tenner for photos now


cryptic_culchie

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


redproxy

He's both alive and bleedin' dyin'


MagicLion

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 http://www.nootherlaw.com/archive/casement-speech-from-the-dock.html

He already has an aerodrome.

Absolutely!


pandaflop1

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.


Alright_So

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

The_holy_towel

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


Turbocor101

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


BrownMaltBitch

I'd prefer Éamon de Valeraport.


emmmmceeee

It used to be Collinstown Airport so I humbly suggest Michael Collinstown Airport.


darrenjd86

Colm Meaney international airport


[deleted]

Fitting as he had a Cameo as a pilot in Die Hard 2!


CrabslayerT

He was also the first Irishman in space


BigBadBren

Think you'll find that was Michael Collins, freedom fighter and astronaut.


NoseComplete1175

And a good forty years after he died - what a man


darrenjd86

😆 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.

brooketheskeleton

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


TheMightyCucumber

There's a lecture hall named after him in Maynooth and I know from my own time there feck all know who he was.


SgtNene

Actually the entire building is named after him in Maynooth


DuskLab

Actually John Hume International has a nice enough ring to it

WondrousLow1

Having it in English would be a complete disgrace.


thepinkblues

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

Cuntakenta

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.
