PA Congressman Tim Murphy Ireland Update

admin | March 9th, 2010 | No Comments »

I received this communique today from PA Congressman Tim Murphy – also a member of AOH Sean MacBride Division #32, Carnegie, PA – and thought you’d find it interesting – Webmaster, Steve Wayhart.

Dear Steve,

With the upcoming vote in Northern Ireland on the Agreement at Hillsborough Castle, I want to share with you the following news articles referring to the efforts of the Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus on which I serve as Vice-Chairman.

While the Good Friday agreement brought a ceasefire to the troubles, the Hillsborough agreement is the final step in the peace and self-governance for Northern Ireland that represents the wishes of the majority. Our hope is that the vote tomorrow reflects the desires of the people of Northern Ireland.

I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future on issues of importance to Irish-Americans.  Please feel free to contact me with your input and ideas at 412-344-5583.

Sincerely,
Tim Murphy

Denny’s Restaurants Insult Irish

admin | February 27th, 2010 | No Comments »

Brothers,

On Thursday February 25th, I was notified about an advertisement  that Denny’s was using as a promotion and I could not believe it so I made some calls and found out it was true. I contacted Joe Brady our National Anti Defamation Chairman who immediately got to work on it verifying it and getting the address phone # etc and getting a letter of to them after a phone call to them went unanswered yesterday. Click the following link (AOH Denny’s Letter) for the letter I sent to them on Thursday and since then I have heard nothing although I have been busy with a death in the family and doctors appointments. I ask all of you especially anyone near the area of their corporate offices in South Carolina to put pressure on them. On Monday morning in the philadelphia area we are having a protest outside their restaurant on City Line Ave across from the ABC Studio’s. I ask all of you to get involved if you have a Denny’s in your area and if not write them a letter and keep the phones hopping. Thank you and again I ask that all State Presidents send this info to all your county and division presidents. Thank you all.

Seamus Boyle National President
