The owners of a Dublin hotel are changing its name for a third time after facing criticism over the proposed rebranding.
The Westin Hotel on the city’s Westmoreland Street announced in April that it would be changing its name to The Westmoreland Hotel.
However, soon after the new moniker was announced, it was reported that the hotel had “inadvertently” been named after slavery defender John Fane, the 10th Earl of Westmorland.
Fane was “a defender of slavery and denounced attempts to end it in the House of Lords in London in 1799,” according to The Irish Times.
FFS pandering to the lefties again.
