Honoring Pete King, Tom Suozzi

The annual banquet of the Brehon Law Society of Nassau County takes place on January 22, 2020, 6:30 pm at the North Ritz Club in Syosset.

The banquet will honor Congress Members Tom Suozzi and Peter King who recently spearheaded an historic bipartisan effort to put Congress on record requiring support for the Irish Peace Process as a condition to approval of any new post-Brexit trade agreement entered into between the US and London. Both Representatives richly deserve this honor and the gratitude of all who hold the best interests of Ireland and America close to their hearts.

Please make every effort to attend and show Pete, Tom and other leaders that we appreciate appreciate their efforts.

Individual dinner tickets are $175 per person – $1,750 per table of 10 (which includes a sponsorship) – Dinner sponsorships alone are $250.

We were honored to have as a guest lecturer Professor Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, a Fulbright Scholar from Harvard, who will made a fascinating presentation on the Learned Families of Brehon Lawyers in Ireland c.1200 to 1600 AD. She also described an effort to reunite sundered parts of a sixteenth century brehon book currently housed in separate museums and libraries.

We also must discussed several upcoming important dates, including an historic event at the Cooper Union on May 23, 2013 with Senator George Mitchell commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. We are also holding a fundraiser on June 20, 2013 with Molloy College to rebuild the Point Breezy Firehouse which was wrecked by Hurricane Sandy. The Famine Tribunal will be held at Fordham Law on April 20 and 21.

Dinner meeting at the Wantagh Inn located at 3264 Railroad Avenue in Wantagh New York 11793 (immediately beneath the Wantagh station on Babylon line of the Long Island Rail Road).

Topic:  the Irish Famine Tribunal which will be held at Fordham Law on October 20, 2012.  The Irish Famine Tribunal promises to be an historic scholarly event, the object of which is to assess the impact of the Irish Famine on the Irish population, and to examine its political, economic, cultural and physiological legacies, all within a legal framework.

We invited Niall MacGiollabhui and Owen Rodgers of the Irish Famine Tribunal to be our guests for the meeting.  We will receive an introduction to the Great Hunger and learn more about what the Tribunal will entail.

Please bring $45 to cover the cost of dinner, which is a buffet with beer, wine and soda.  The Wantagh Inn, incidentally, is a fine Irish restaurant with a great bar.
