"That this Committee expresses its concern at the ongoing confusion between the locally preferred, accurate and accepted name (PALMERSTOWN) and official but as a legacy of colonial days very inaccurate name (PALMERSTON), requests the Manager to bring forward to this LAS a costed plan for a plebiscite that will allow those involved to determine the correct name for the Village area given that that is the focal point for all sign posts for 'Palmerstown'. People are not travelling to the townland or DED of 'Palmerston' but to the business and residential area known popularly (historically and accurately) as 'Palmerstown Village' and it is only the people that live or have businesses in that area that need be consulted. Others living in Palmerstown Ave, Drive, Court, Green etc do not have an issue per say."
