Golf Champion Rory McIIroy could see his
major achievements permanently celebrated in Holywood, if plans get the go-ahead.
I recently secured support from the relevant Ards
and North Down Borough Council Committee calling for officers to
investigate the possibility of a permanent recognition of the golfing star in
liaison with his Management Company.
Rory
McIIroy is a fantastic role-model for the next generation across Northern
Ireland – proving that if you dream big and work hard you can achieve great
success.
Rory has been at the top of his game
for a number of years now, but while he is travelling the world Holywood will
always be his home. I believe it is a fitting tribute for his home town
to celebrate his achievements in whatever manner considered appropiate.
This motion calls on Council officers
to look at the different options available and engage with his Management
Company to establish what is desired.
At a time when Northern Ireland
continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons, we must recognise the
positive headlines Rory McIIroy makes every time he picks up his clubs.
