THE BURMESE DEMOCRACY figure Aung San Suu Kyi made a touching tribute last night to the dedication of Irish people and Amnesty International in highlighting her struggle and that of the Burmese people over a number of decades.

While thousands packed into Grand Canal Plaza last night to witness Daw Aung receive the Freedom of Dublin, there was an earlier paid-in event in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre a little earlier. If you weren’t there, this video shows her making her speech from 0:55. Powerful.
