Sean Mulryan to be awarded Freedom of Roscommon on Tuesday

Ballymore CEO and founder Sean Mulryan will be awarded the Freedom of Roscommon next Tuesday afternoon.

Mr Mulryan will receive the award following the adoption of a proposal by councillors at their plenary meeting last month.

Making the proposal to honour him at the April meeting, Council Cathaoirleach, Cllr Liam Callaghan, said the Freedom of Roscommon would recognise the Oran native for his outstanding contribution to business in Ireland, and for bringing international recognition to County Roscommon.

The Cathaoirleach also spoke of how Mr Mulryan and the property development company he founded, Ballymore, were renowned nationally and internationally for their work.

Cllr Callaghan also outlined the businessman’s support to many organisations and groups along with his generosity to charity. 

Mr Mulryan is also a long serving Roscommon GAA benefactor.

The Freedom of Roscommon is a prestigious honour bestowed on an individual who has represented his county both nationally and internationally with great distinction while also being a generous contributor to many worthy local causes in a lifetime of immense service to the community.

The conferring ceremony will take place at the council’s headquarters in Roscommon Town.

Mr Mulryan is now set to join a distinguished list of recipients of the Freedom of Roscommon, which includes World Champion boxers, Aoife and Lisa O’Rourke; former President of Ireland Mary McAleese and her husband, former Senator Martin McAleese; the late Roscommon football legend Dermot Earley; the late writer, artist and academic, Brian O’Doherty; actor Chris O’Dowd; singer Brendan Shine and businessman Jim Callery, the founder of the National Famine Museum at Strokestown Park.
