Barack and Michelle Obama have been invited by Dublin's Lord Mayor to formally accept the Freedom of the City of Dublin award during their visit in September. The couple was originally granted the honor in 2017 but have not yet accepted it in person. Their upcoming visit is expected to include a formal ceremony, but it has also sparked planned protests. The Freedom of Dublin is the city's highest civic honor, and the invitation highlights the city's desire to officially welcome the Obamas as Freeman and Freewoman. The event is drawing both excitement and controversy among Dubliners.
