Flatleys to be made honorary Corkonians

Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley and his wife Niamh, are to be made honorary Corkonians.

They will receive their awards on January 16 at the 22nd annual Cork Person of the Year Awards in tribute to their ambassadorial work on behalf of their adopted city and county.

This news was revealed last night by the founder of the awards, Manus O’Callaghan, as a special book was launched in City Hall which traces the 21 years of the event.
