Lord Mayor Wants Obama To Have Freedom Of Dublin
The Lord Mayor wants to give Barack Obama the Freedom of Dublin.
Brendan Carr says the outgoing U.S. President has broken race barriers since being elected 8 years ago, and has pointed out that he has been a supporter of Ireland's peace process.
Not all Councillors are behind the proposal, though. Patrick Costello from the Green party is one of those who'll be voting against the idea in September.
"The main reason I can't support this, is because this is the freedom of Dublin city. And I can't point to a single thing that Barrack Obama has done for Dublin City."
The vote will be held in September.
