The following resolution was then moved by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Hazel Chu and seconded by Councillors Deirdre Heney, Ray McAdam, Seamás McGrattan, Tara Deacy, Claire Byrne, Dermot Lacey: “That Dublin City Council hereby resolves that the Honorary Freedom of the City of Dublin be conferred on Dr. Tony Holohan and that his name be inscribed on the Roll of Honorary Freedom of Dublin, pursuant to the provisions of Section 74 of the Local Government Act, 2001 in recognition of his enormous contribution to the City of Dublin and the State in relation to his service to Public Health during Covid19.”

 

The motion was agreed by the City Council.
