If it was Irish, we were there: the Delaware Valley Irish Hall of Fame awards, the annual Irish music concert to benefit St. Malachy’s School, GAA games in their last summer at Cardinal Dougherty, the Philadelphia Ceili Group Festival and Irish Night at the Phillies.
Then there was the Mathew Carey Award, the Miss Mayo, Mary from Dungloe and Rose of Tralee pageants, Irish Network-Philly gatherings, the Penn’s Landing Irish Festival, the Inspirational Irish Women awards, the Irish Stew Cook-Off … and more parades than you can shake a shillelagh at.
