Albany, N.Y., March 13--They were wearing green in Albany at the American Irish Legislators Society’s 41st Annual St. Patrick’s Dinner, where State Senator Tom O’Mara (R,C-Big Flats) was honored with the Society’s 2015 "Daniel O’Connell Award for Public Service."
The Daniel O’Connell Award is given in tribute to the famous Irish nationalist, known as The Liberator or The Emancipator, who was Ireland’s predominant politician in the first half of the 19th century. The Society presents the award annually to a state legislator demonstrating “untiring dedication, promotion and continuing support of the goals of The American Irish Legislators Society of New York State.”
