That the Parliament praises the contribution of Tony Pirouet to the Lonny Dook in Queensferry; highlights that Pirouet rescued the event in 2023 after previous organisers withdrew from running it; recognises that the Lonny Dook, which began as a joke between friends in 1987 in a bid to cure their Hogmanay hangovers, is now a popular national tradition that attracts hundreds of dookers and spectators to raise money for charity; thanks the organisers over the years for their contribution to a New Year event that brings together communities from across Edinburgh and beyond; notes with regret that the event will not take place in 2027 due to safety concerns, but welcomes confirmation that it will be back in 2028.
