There are calls to review Dublin City Council's 20-year-rule on renaming public spaces.
It's meant plans to call a park in the north inner city after the late Boyzone star Stephen Gately have stalled.
The singer who was from Sheriff Street passed away in 2009 at the age of 33.
It was agreed to rename the park along the Royal Canal between Spencer Dock and North Strand after Gately in 2020 but the rule is stopping that from happening until 2029.
Independent Councillor Damien O'Farrell wants the measure reviewed and reduced to ten years;
"This is knows as the Jimmy Saville rule. Jimmy Saville died in around 2011 and in 2012 then Dublin introduced this rule because thousands of places were named after Jimmy Saville in the UK. There was an enormous process then to rename places."
He says he's worried that there will be twenty year gaps in the city's social history.
