Greta Thunberg has been nominated for Honorary Freedom of the City of Dublin.
The Swedish environmental activist was chosen by Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy along with Irish environmentalist Duncan Stewart. Speaking about the nomination, the Lord Mayor said: "I said already that I couldn’t think of any other Irish person who had done more over such a long period of time to spread the word about environmental issues than Duncan.
"Greta has been a significant presence on the international stage, particularly in rallying young people to the climate challenge. I am a huge admirer of both Duncan and Greta. They are absolutely passionate about raising awareness of this huge issue.
