New York State Senator Sean Ryan has been awarded the Daniel O’Connell Award at the annual Saint Patrick’s Dinner hosted by the American-Irish Legislators Society of New York. The Daniel O’Connell Award is named for the famous Irish nationalist, known as The Liberator and The Emancipator. 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. 

The society founded in 1973, is a bipartisan organization composed of members of the New York State Legislature committed to promoting awareness of Irish culture, ties between Ireland and New York, and fellowship among legislators who are of Irish descent, or who have an interest in Ireland and in the American-Irish community.
