Cork's New Lord Mayor Embraces 'Be Sound'

Cork’s new Lord Mayor, Damian Boylan, triumphed with 19 votes over his opponent’s 8, marking his historic rise as the 16th North Monastery alum to lead the city. Boylan, a native son and community-minded leader, framed his election as an honor rooted in hard work and leaving things better than he found them. He pledged to embody “be sound” — decency, kindness, fairness — and plans to spread that message in schools. He praised outgoing Lord Mayor Fergal Dennehy for his dignified service and celebrated Cork’s resilience and growth. Deputy Lord Mayor Gary O’Brien, ready to support Boylan, emphasized collaboration as key to the city’s future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
