Bishop deserves to retain his name on city park

While the Sheares brothers may not have ‘come from Glasheen’, as Pat Daly thinks, (Irish Examiner, June 4) that is no reason why they should be denied honouring, but not at the expense of Bishop Lucey.

It is never a laudable exercise to advance the cause of one man at the expense of a second.

What was excellent about the Shearess is not that they were revolutionaries but that their father set up the Society for the Relief of Prisoners Confined for Small Debt, a forerunner of the social welfare system Ireland enjoys today.
