I was honoured to attend the launch of Dublin as City of Science 2012 on 26th January 2012. I was joined by Richard Bruton TD, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Dr. Patrick Cunningham, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government, Dara O'Briain who was MC for the Launch, Stephen Cluxton, Dublin GAA Star and members of the RTE Symphony Orchestra for the Launch event.
There are a range of interesting events happening in Dublin throughout the year to celebrate this designation.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have announced that Dublin would be included in the London2012 Olympic Torch Relay. In a break from tradition it has been agreed that the Olympic Torch will travel outside of Greece and the host country and visit Dublin on 6th June 2012.
This is a huge honour for Dublin and will include us in the Olympic experience. I'm looking forward to working with Dubln City Council, the Olympic Council of Ireland, An Garda Síochána, London2012 Torch Relays and all agencies to bring the Torch to Dublin.
Further details on the route the Torch will take around Dublin and Torchbearers will be released later this year. |
