The council can't talk about or vote on the proposed name change right now because the issue was pulled.
There was a lot of talk among council members and local residents about the request.Some people thought the park's name should stay the same, while others thought it should be changed to fit with the times.Some people wanted the change because they were worried about human rights and international relations. Others wanted to keep the park's historical significance.
The council members showed they wanted to keep things from getting worse by taking the proposal off the agenda.
People in Dublin are divided on whether or not to change the name
The park, which is named after a former president of Israel, has been in the area for a long time.Some people think the name shows friendship between countries, while others wonder if public places should change when people's political views change.
The proposal's withdrawal doesn't mean that talks can't happen in the future, but it does mean that official debate is over for now.
