You can listen to an interview I had on RnaG about it here:
www.megaupload.com/?d=JLNHM0WC
"The vast majority of the developments named solely in Irish in Cork are in the county.
There aren't many in the city and suburbs."
There is a "Tiffany Downs" estate in Bishopstown in Cork City suburbs.
The name comes from the 80's American soap "Dynasty."
There's traditional Irish for ya!
"The developer of course should be free to market whatever name he wants."
That "naming anarchism" philosophy has left this country with a plethora of snobbish sounding British names which are so inappropriate for this country.
Thus we have dozens of "The Gallops" "The Cotswolds", "Surbiton Lawns" "Chelsea Heights" "Aylesbury." "Essex lawns" "Kensington" etc. etc. etc.
(Appealing to the snobbery of the lower middle class buyers usually.)
Ireland must be the only country in Europe which lets a private developer name a public street without consultation and without obtaining strict permission from local authorities.
(That is where "Tiffany Downs" came from after all.)
There are TWO "Richmond"s close to the village of Glanmire in Cork.
You can be pointed in opposite directions in Glanmire.....depending on who you ask directions from.
