As far as I know "Droichead Nua" was the official name of the town although in my whole life hardly anyone or any letters or addresses corresponded to that. I cant say if or when it was officially changed to Newbridge.

On most if not all older maps (pre '90's) its Droichead Nua that appears on the map.

I know there was a mini campaign last year by a town counciller to have the towns name reverted back to the irish version.

Personally I would have loved that.
