Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : We hope that the legacy of a figure at the forefront of establishing the relations between Israel and Ireland, and the fight against antisemitism and tyranny, will still get the respect it deserves today," the statement concluded.
37% : " "This motion must be withdrawn, and I ask all on Dublin City Council to seriously reflect on the implications of this move," Martin said. Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee also condemned the move to rename the park, which is currently named for former Israeli President Chaim Herzog, who was born in Belfast and grew up in Dublin and was the father of Israel's current President, Isaac Herzog. The office of the Israeli President stated in response to the efforts to rename the park: "We are following with concern the reports from Ireland regarding the intention to harm the legacy of the sixth President of the State of Israel, the late Chaim Herzog, as well as harming the unique expression of the historical connection between the Irish and Jewish peoples.
