Watch: Dublin residents divided over renaming of park honouring former Israeli president

The proposal to rename a south Dublin park has local Dublin residents divided. 'Herzog Park' was named to commemorate Chaim Herzog, Israel's sixth president, who was born in Belfast. Dublin City Council has prepared a motion to rename 'Herzog Park' to 'Hind Rajab Park' after Hind Rajab from Gaza. Chaim Herzog's son, Isaac Herzog, is the current president of Israel and his father, Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, served as the first chief rabbi of Ireland.
