The Lord Mayor of Dublin Hazel Chu would like to announce that she has chosen Marie Stears as the winner of the Lord Mayor’s Award for the month of February.
Ann works in the Spar shop on Glasnevin Avenue in Finglas.
“There’s a lot of very worthy people nominated again this month, as there always is,” said the Lord Mayor. “We really do have so many good people in this City. I went with Ann as this month’s winner because not only does she sound like a ray of sunshine for customers coming into the shop, but she has also put another of her talents to great use making masks and raising money for a super cause. Well done Ann!”
Ann was nominated for the award by Colette Finnegan, a customer in the shop.
December’s category is Hospital Services Staff .
The Lord Mayor’s Awards, which usually take place annually, are taking place monthly this year to honour and thank those who have worked tirelessly for us on the frontline in this pandemic.
Each month members of the public will be invited to nominate either a frontline person or organisation that they think has gone above and beyond during Covid-19.
At the end of each month the Lord Mayor will decide the winner and present them with the Award, a piece of specially-commissioned sculpture and a gift voucher worth €1,000.
There will be a different category each month.
