DIGNITARY PROGRAM |
||
 |
It
is a privilege and honor for the Emmetsburg St. Patrick's Association to
host a member of the Irish Parliament to reign over the three day
celebration. Guest Parliamentarians, who have attended along with their
gracious wives, have endeared themselves to residents and visitors.
Lasting friendships have been formed.
While visiting in the States, the Parliamentarian is given the opportunity to watch Iowa's governing bodies at work. He spends some time with the governor and attends both sessions of the state legislature. Several of these men have left political life and returned to successful businesses. They keep actively in touch with affairs of the government, both at home and abroad. Some of these men are now Ministers in the Irish President's cabinet, while others represent Ireland in the European Parliament. |
