This comes from the Dublin Corporation Minute Books and is from the Report of the Paving Committee. It suggests a number of name changes for the capital, many of which are to acknowledge historical connections to certain streets.
Among the name changes proposed were:
Beresford Place (at Liberty Hall)- Rename Connolly Place.
Fitzwilliam Square- Rename Plunket Square
Brunswick Street- Rename Channel Row
D’Olier Street- rename Smith O’Brien Street
Henry Street- To be united with Mary Street
Nassau Street- Rename Tubber Patrick Street

Come Here To Me! 
Very interesting. DF do you have a link?
For the Corporation Minute Books? Sadly not. They’re in Pearse Street Library. Thought this was worth photo-copying.
“Nassau Street- Rename Tubber Patrick Street” has to be the winner!
Great find, really interesting!
I had noticed a while ago that Nassau Street’s Irish translation was Sráid Thobar Phádraig and had wondered where it had gone to in the English!
