Dear Bridge Naming Committee,
Im writing to you to show my support for the new bridge over the River Liffey to be named after the late Dr. Willie Bermingham, Dublin City Fireman and founder of A.L.O.N.E.( A Little Offering Never Ends) Supporting, befriending & providing care for older people in need).
Willie was a true blue Dubliner who lived all his life in Dublin and who served the people of Dublin day and night. Who better to name this bridge after than a former employee of Dublin Corporation?
