Boyle-born actor Chris O’Dowd will be honoured by the US Ireland Alliance at the 14th Annual Oscar Wilde Awards at J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot in Santa Monica in the USA on February 21st.
Local election candidate (Boyle Municipal District) Tom Crosby this week extended his congratulations to Mr. O’Dowd.
“In my former role as councillor and Mayor of Roscommon I had the honour of having a resolution passed by Roscommon County Council to give the Freedom of the County to Boyle native Chris in recognition of his outstanding work on the world stage as an ambassador for County Roscommon and Ireland and am delighted to see him receiving yet another honour”.
