Lord Mayor reactivates twinning agreement between Dublin and Liverpool

The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Emma Blain, is today visiting the City of Liverpool to lead the reactivation of the twinning agreement between Dublin and Liverpool. 

The agreement was first signed in 1997.

The Lord Mayor said:

“It is my immense pride and pleasure to visit the city of Liverpool to reactivate the twinning agreement between Dublin and Liverpool. Our two cities have long shared a much cherished connection and I hope that this visit will help strengthen those bonds. 

Dublin and Liverpool have strong historic cultural, social and economic connections which extend across all aspects of Liverpool’s renowned reputation for music and arts, commerce and industry, sport and education. 

Like many Dubliners, I have a family connection to the City of Liverpool, it is a place I have visited many times and am always struck by the warmth and welcoming of the people. I hope that my visit will be seen as a reciprocation of this warmth and welcoming from the people of Dublin.

My sincere thanks to The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Richard Kemp CBE, and to The Leader of Liverpool City Council, Liam Robinson, for their gracious invitation and their eagerness to develop this connection even further.”
