Dublin Centenarians to be celebrated by Lord Mayor

Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, will continue a proud Dublin tradition by honouring residents of the city who have reached the remarkable milestone of 100 years.

The ‘Dublin City Centenarians Project’ – first launched in the 1990s to complement the President’s national recognition of centenarians – was revived earlier this year when former Lord Mayor Emma Blain welcomed 14 centenarians to the Mansion House.

Building on that success, Lord Mayor McAdam will once again open the doors of the Mansion House to celebrate Dubliners aged 100 and over.

Each centenarian will receive a framed scroll and the opportunity to sign the Dublin Centenarians Ledger.

“I am delighted to continue this wonderful tradition,” said Lord Mayor McAdam. “Our centenarians have given so much to Dublin, and their wisdom and memories are treasures for us all.

“I look forward to welcoming them to the Mansion House and celebrating their remarkable lives.”

The Lord Mayor is inviting anyone who knows a Dubliner aged 100 or more to get in touch by emailing lordmayor@dublincity.ie.

Closing date for applications is Friday October 10th.
