Michael Fassbender to be awarded in native Kerry
The Oscar nominee will receive a different kind of accolade when he returns to his hometown later this year.
Michael Fassbender will be honoured in his native Kerry for his contribution to the film industry and for boosting the Killarney profile internationally.
Born in Germany, the X-men star moved to Ireland with his family as a child. He has enjoyed a number of high profile roles of late, appearing in Macbeth, 12 Years A Slave and Steve Jobs.
The Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce will induct 39 year old into the Order of Innisfallen at a black tie affair in October.
