2.12 Honorary Doctorate

On a more personal note, I was deeply honoured to be conferred with a Degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, by the National University of Ireland, in December. The citation marking the award was read by Dr. Mary Corcoran of University College Dublin, who also referred to the many benefits the Office of the Ombudsman brings to the people of Ireland. As such, it was not only a great moment of personal celebration but a gracious affirmation of the work of my Office and my predecessors and the staff, over the last twenty-five years, since its establishment.
