New honour for former Beard of Ireland William Crawley
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that a former Beard of Ireland, Dr William Crawley, has received a new honour today as he was admitted to the Royal Irish Academy, which is Ireland’s leading body of experts in sciences and the humanities.
Dr Crawley won the Beard of Ireland in 2016, and has continued to do well in the annual poll in recent years. The current holder is the DUP’s Lee Reynolds.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, obviously Dr William Crawley will have been admitted to the Royal Irish Academy on merit but at the same the gravitas that winning the Beard of Ireland poll brings must have helped.
