Ronan O’Gara’s Freedom of Cork to be streamed live

Hundreds of guests are expected to line out alongside the former Ireland and Munster legend, and his family, including his wife, Jessica, and their five children, for the ceremony in City Hall this afternoon.

The award, which will be presented during a special meeting of the city council, is the highest civic honour which can be bestowed by the council upon a person who has distinguished themselves and is deemed worthy to have their name enrolled on the List of the Freemen of the city — a custom which dates to the 14th century.
