(Nominated to be a Freeman of Dublin by Fine Gael Lord Mayor)

The world turned its attention to the London bombing before the G8 summit ended.

The London bombing has nothing to do with what Monbiot is talking about. Are you trying to suggest that it somehow or other 'forced' the G8 leaders to renege on their promises?

I find it hard to believe that not one councillor opposed Sir Bob's nomination . When the ceremony takes place ,is there any chance of getting a protest organized..?
