12/29/2008 - On January 9th, 2009 Dolores, Noel and Mike will reunite and perform at the University Philosophical Society, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. The performance will be part of Dolores' induction as an Honorary Patron at the Phil. The Honorary Patronage is the highest award that the Society can bestow on a non-member. The earliest councils selected leading minds from Irish and British society, and made them into Honorary Patrons, charging them with protecting the Society and using their good names to ensure its continued survival. In modern times, suggestions for Honorary Patrons are submitted at the end of every Session and approved by Council. These potential patrons are then informed of their nomination by the President and accept the award with a speech or interview. More recently, Honorary Patrons are selected from the fields of Politics, Business, Academia and Arts, and only those guests whose contribution within their sphere is considered exceptional are made into Honorary Patrons... Dolores will join U2's The Edge, Al Pacino, Dame Helen Mirren, Salmon Rushdie, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof and others in receiving the prestigious Honorary Patron status.
