City welcomes home Hollywood hero

GOLDEN GLOBE winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in an upbeat mood last night before stepping on stage to receive yet another accolade.

But this one was different to the precious statue the star received in Hollywood just a fortnight ago for his portrayal of Elvis on US television.

The 28-year-old was back home in Cork for a civic reception in recognition for winning the Globe - and to receive his Cork Person of the Month award.
