Episode: Should the North Strand bombing memorial include the victims names?
Description: Ireland was largely on the outskirts of World War two but the reality of the war hit home on 31st May 1941. At 2.05 am, a five-hundred-pound bomb exploded in Dublin's North Strand, and the shock was felt throughout the city. The damage and devastation were horrific. Twenty-eight people died, forty-five were seriously injured and hundreds more suffered minor injuries. Now over eighty years later, one Dublin councillor is calling for the names of those who died to be included on the memorial.Pat Kenny was joined by Alison Field Labour Councillor for Dublin Bay North, Clontarf to discuss.
