Freedom of Dublin City

Selection criteria here
http://www.dublincity.ie/YourCouncil/LordMayorDublin/FreedomoftheCity/Pages/FreedomoftheCityHome.aspx
Only 74 people have ever gotten it so it's an exclusive club

Who would you like to see nominated? Would you consider lobbying your local councillor over it?

I'd like to see Padraig Harrington get it. Could go on to confirm his status of one the great Irish sportsmen ever, and having met him he is a true gent.

So anyone got any other nominations?

Tbh, I've never heard of the last two winners

Thomas Kinsella, 5 February 2007, 24 May 2007
Louis Le Brocquy, 5 February 2007, 24 May 2007

Thomas Kinsella is a poet, you probably studied him for the Leaving. Le Brocquy is probably the best known Irish artist alive. I think there's something mad like you can keep sheep in St Stephen's Green if you get it?
