Visit Ireland.com WELCOME A warm Irish welcome to the 55th Anniversary Dinner of the Ireland-U.S. Council . As President of the Council it is always a pleasant duty for me to Aextend greetings to this annual occasion when we celebrate, on behalf of the entire Council membership in the United States and throughout Ireland, the Council’s continued engagement of our core mission. This past year has seen much change in Ireland and in the United States. However, from the vantage point we occupy in the Ireland-U.S. Council , I am happy to report that the business bonds and commercial connections between America and Ireland, North and South, have never ever been stronger, deeper or more durable than they are now. Brian W. Stack It has been ten long years since the calamitous real estate crash which precipitated a financial industry cataclysm that was especially brutal and harsh in Ireland. What a difference can be made in a decade with careful, smart, energetic and prudent managing of a difficult economic problem. Tonight the Ireland-U.S. Council is delighted to hail, through our honoree Bernard Byrne, CEO of AIB Group, the milestone return to financial health achieved by one of Ireland’s largest banking groups. The sale into private hands of a large chunk of AIB Group stock ownership by Ireland’s Government marks a true watershed event. With the benefit of hindsight we can clearly see the wisdom of the Government in Dublin in rescuing Ireland’s banking system ten years ago. It stands as testimony to the faith which people in Ireland have in the system of free enterprise. I must always underline how thankful we are for the support and participation received during this past year from Council members and from so many benefactors, patrons and sponsors. The encouragement, assistance and support you have offered has been most heartening. It has also been essential in helping us to sustain the organization’s roster of programs and activities during this past year. Because of your support, we have been enabled to continue to engage the core mission of the organization in meaningful ways. In working to enhance and strengthen those important business bonds and commercial connections between the United States and Ireland, we hope to make a worthwhile contribution to the betterment of the economic circumstances of all the people in the United States and in Ireland, north and south. Improved and expanded investment, trade and tourism in both directions between America and Ireland is not a zero-sum game – it betters the lives, livelihoods and economic circumstances of everybody. The very important business links that connect America and Ireland in capital investment, trade, tourism, technology transfer and so much more have flourished during this past year. These are tangible and resilient connections that require smart attention and careful nurturing. Our hope is that in the coming year, we in the Ireland-U.S. Council can assist the process of strengthening and expanding these bonds that bind America aBnd Irriealand eSver ctloasecr.k Brian W.

Add in all the training sessions and discussions associated with each team and the impact of this voluntary activity is truly enormous. As the country faces into difficult economic times, it is heartening to see such endeavour complemented with characteristics like passion, spirit and hope. These qualities are not in short supply in Ireland and if we can harness them properly we will overcome our problems. The club itself was overcome with joy in 2010 with the marvellous four-in-a-row senior hurling titles – an achievement that places the club among the ranks of great clubs.

  • Imreoir to Bainisteoir Exhibition Launched at the GAA Museum
    Imreoir to Bainisteoir exhibition Launched at the GAA museum The GAA Museum’s new exhibition celebrates individuals to have won All-Ireland titles as both a player and manager including six camogie recipients Few GAA players win All-Ireland medals and even fewer go on to repeat the feat as a team manager. A new exhibition at the GAA Museum celebrates this unique club of players. Imreoir to Bainisteoir features memorabilia, film footage and imagery from the 30 players who have achieved All-Ireland success both on the field and from the sidelines. There are 13 hurlers, 11 footballers and six camogie players who have claimed All-Ireland medals as a player and manager. The group includes legends such as Mick O’Dwyer, Kevin Heffernan, Brian Cody and Ann Downey. Imreoir to Bainisteoir recognises the amazing achievements of these players and gives fans the opportunity to remember some of the most exciting players and teams in the history of Gaelic Games. Speaking at today’s launch Uachtarán Chumann Lύthchleas Gael, Aogán Ó Fearghail said: “It is with great pride that I open this new exhibition and I hope GAA fans from Ireland and beyond will visit and celebrate these GAA Legends. All sporting codes need heroes and without doubt, the players honoured here are some of the greatest of all time. It will be interesting to see if a new name will be added to this unique group anytime soon!” Players showcased in the exhibition have achieved their double success in different ways. Mick O’Dwyer led Kerry to eight All-Ireland titles in 13 seasons and won four All-Irelands with the Kingdom as a player.
