Hollywood actress Maureen O’Hara would like to be granted the Freedom of Dublin City.
Family and friends of the 93-year-old (pictured) wrote to city councillors last week and requested their support.
They said that Ranelagh-born Ms O’Hara would like the event “to be one of her last public appearances”.
Their letter stated it was a “matter of urgency” given Ms O’Hara’s age. “I respectfully ask you, Lord Mayor, and the Dublin City Council, to confer this great honour upon Ms O’Hara, whom many people of Ireland believe to be a ‘national treasure’,” the letter adds.
“With deep respect, there is a sense of urgency, given that she will turn 94 on August 17. Ms O’Hara would like Dublin, the city of her birth, to be one of her last public appearances.”
