Senator David Norris on Saro Wiwa Street:While I would not wish to encourage a wholesale free for all in the changing of street names by individual citizens I would like to say that in the circumstances I am very happy to support the changing of the name Adelaide Road to Ken Saro Wiwa Street. The judicial murder of Ken Saro Wiwa is very well known but the implication of Shell Oil in the matter deservesalso to be exposed.Ken Saro Wiwa was a noble generous and courageous human being who lost hislife in a struggle against oppression. He is much worthier to have a streetin Dublin named after him than Adelaide Louise Therese Caroline Amelia ofSaxe-Meningen who was the despised wife of the dissolute Prince of Wales atthe beginning of the 19th century. She was a sad creature who is best leftto rest in peace whereas Ken Saro Wiwa deserves to be celebrated by allmankind.Best wishesDavid NorrisDublin November 11th 2008
