Freedom of the city

I missed the discussion on Newstalk106, but apparently a Dublin City councilor has suggested that the five anti-war protestors should be given the "Freedom of the City". Now if this was a reaction to the five's pledge to 'close Shannon' - competition for Dublin Airport - then I'd think, "Well that's hardball, but that's business", but that's obviously not the thinking behind the suggestion.

I'm working on the assumption that this won't go anywhere.
