Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Michael OReilly. Irish Firefighter of the Year. 1995. who will be honored at this years St. Patricks Day parade in Jersey City. Mr. OReilly 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 contilbutions 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.
