Description

The new bridge connecting Lifford in Co Donegal with Strabane in Co Tyrone is about to open. Charlie Witherspoon asks ‘what should the new bridge be called? Lots of locals wanted the bridge to be named after the late President Kennedy. Others weren’t so sure. In the end, the bridge was called ‘Lifford Bridge’.
