Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Sister Maeve McDermott. grand marshall of this years St. Patricks Day Parade in Jersey City. Sister McDermott is among the many IrishAmerican men and women who have helped make this country great. The Irish have been Immigrating to the United States since the early part of the 19th century. In that time. they have made many conIributions to this country. They have distinguished themselves at every level of American society. As IrishAmericans have built their businesses. so have they contributed to the economic prosperity of this Nation. As they have grown politically. they have contributed to government on the local.
