Discussions over renaming the bridge linking Jones' Road to Russell Street, crossing over the Royal Canal, had been floated over the last number of years, but approval was finally granted in June.
Speaking at the ceremony, Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste said: "In naming this bridge, we are honouring those innocent victims, all of whom deserve to be remembered."
