The Brehon Law Society has been instrumental in the ongoing efforts to help Malachy McAllister and his family remain in the United States.

Malachy McAllister, fled Ireland with his young family after receiving death threats from Loyalist death squads.  The McAllisters were embraced by the Irish American community, which rallied strongly to their cause and fought successfully for two decades to keep Malachy from being deported.

Malachy became a beloved and respected member of our community, enduring the premature death of his wife, raising his young family, becoming a productive businessman and employer and being acknowledged as a key promoter of the Irish Peace Process which has done so much to end the war which had victimized him and his family.

Through the efforts of the community  and the support of many public figures, numerous Senators, Members of Congress, countless public officials of all stripes, Malachy received stays of deportation on a yearly basis year after year.
