President Clinton Honored at Irish American EventIt was a moment filled with honor and acclaims for the former US president Bill Clinton, when many enthusiastic Irish Americans gathered at Gallagher’s steakhouse in midtown, Manhattan, to applaud his work for peace process in Northern Ireland. Auspiciously, the event also commemorated 10-year anniversary to mark the good Friday Accords. Clinton, while speaking on the occasion thanked for the opportunity offered to him for ending century old conflict. In a letter sent by Irish president, Bertie Ahern, he lauded the crucial role played by Bill Clinton and his wife in the peace process. It is noted here, that the letter comes short of Irish president, Bertie Ahern’s dismissal from position of president in wake of recent financial scandal, to which he denies categorically. The excerpts from the letter read… “I would also like to thank Hillary Clinton for the vital role she played. Her support in these divided communities, bringing people together to work in partnership and her support and encouragement helped us through some very difficult times,” Ahern wrote, ” Bill and Hillary have been good and true friends of the Irish people and for that we will always be grateful and we will thank them from the bottom of our hearts.” The former president moved out for an off from regular campaigning schedules, which he was doing for his wife, only to be the part of one social event. He avowed that he was the part of St. Patrick’s Day parade. He honestly admitted before the crowd gathered in Gallagher’s steakhouse that the peace process would not have been successful without sincere efforts of Irish Americans and their issueless love for their country. “I doubt very seriously despite even with their best efforts that the Irish could have done this without the American Diaspora without you staying after the political leaders in this country all those years and sending money and sending it all those years.” Also, on this very memorable event, Mr. Bill Clinton met rish American leader, activist, and lawyer Brian O’Dwyer, who expressed the comments of one David Trimble, Nobel peace price in 1998 for his work on the peace accords, on the role of Hillary clinton. Soon after the event came to a touchy end, Cliton joined her wife’s starry fundraiser campaign, which was Sir Elton John’s concert at Radio City Music Hall.
