Film director John Boorman has been given a lifetime achievement award by Wicklow County Council

Mr Boorman, who is a five-time Oscar nominee and directed films including Excalibur, Deliverance and The General, has lived in Wicklow for decades.

He said Mr Boorman was also responsible for the planting of tens of thousands of trees in his beloved Annamoe. Wicklow County Council, he said, had placed the screen sector front and centre in its Economic Development Strategy and thanks to the support of industry stalwarts, funding has been obtained for the new Content Creation Enterprise Hub at Wicklow County Campus.

His son Charley Boorman thanked Wicklow County Council and spoke about"half of Irish Hollywood being there because of Dad".
