The Lord Mayor, Cllr. Emer Costello, will sign the book of condolence for the late US Senator Edward Kennedy in the Embassy of the United States in Ballsbridge at 11.15 a.m. today (Friday).

The Lord Mayor will be accompanied by Deputy Joe Costello and will be received at the Embassy by a representative of the United States Ambassador.

The Lord Mayor said: “Senator Ted Kennedy was a giant of a man whose contribution to Ireland and the Irish living in America, cannot be overstated.  He was a true leader who made a significant contribution to the Irish peace process.  Senator Kennedy was a tireless campaigner for social justice within his own country and his many achievements are testimony to his greatness. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam dhílis.”
