Freedom to give developers the power to give new areas stupid English names? Because that has happened a lot down through the years.
Sure. Freedom for individuals to name their developments whatever they like. Just because you don't like a name, or think it's stupid, doesn't mean it is. What happens if a council bans Irish names, because they think they're stupid? You could hardly object.
What does that even mean?
Irish names are banned in Northern Ireland. The majority of people in NI have self-determined through being in the UK that they don't want Irish language names for new areas. I hope and expect that Irish will grow there and that in future years councils will be able to name new areas in Irish. Councillors i.e. public representatives have voted in Dublin City, Galway City, South Dublin County Council, Shannon, Navan and most recently (although the motion, although passed, is going to a committee now) in Cork City have voted to name new developments in Irish. The developers can come up with their own names in Irish in these places and provided they have some historical or geographical relevance I would presume that the councils will accept them.
Well, at least you acknowledge that you're merely a mirror image of the Unionist whose hates the Irish language. United in your illiberalism and the contempt for the rights of individuals, in pursuance of your respective attempts of cultural imposition.
The above named councils I named in this state so must be funny places! :|
