We are delighted to announce Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton will be inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame.
The former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York is being honored for her work on the Irish peace process.
“Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the unsung heroes of the success of the Irish peace process,” said Irish America co-founder Niall O’Dowd.
“As First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State she always gave the issue top priority to help ensure it remained at the top of the U.S. foreign policy agenda.
“During that historic first trip to Northern Ireland with Bill Clinton in 1995 which I was privileged to be on, she galvanized women’s groups on both sides by meeting with them, shaping their agenda and making sure they always had a friend in the U.S. administration. More than that, she constantly stayed involved, never giving up her focus on bringing an end to Europe’s longest conflict at the time.
“As Senator George Mitchell has stated, ‘[Hillary] was very much involved in encouraging the emergence of women in the political process in Northern Ireland, which was a significant factor in ultimately getting an agreement.’”
As Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton ensured Ireland was high on the U.S. foreign policy priority list, and her last trip as Secretary of State in 2012 included a strong address to party leaders from all sides in Belfast where she pledged to continue her work for peace in Ireland in whatever her capacity.
The standing ovation from all sides and from former bitter enemies of each other on that occasion was deeply moving and instructive as to how important her role was.
For those reasons we are deeply honored to induct Hillary Rodham Clinton into the Hall of Fame where she joins her husband Bill Clinton, who was inducted in 2011, and Vice President Joe Biden who was inducted in 2013, among others.
The Irish America Hall of Fame is located in Wexford, Ireland, on the New Ross quayside yards from where John F. Kennedy’s great grandparents, among millions of others, left for the United States.
Honored for what? She has accomplished nothing but scandals, lies, cover-ups and graft.
How much did Hillary or her cronies pay you for this honor? No true American nor Irish person would ever honor someone with so many scandals and the Benghazi failures and coverups.
This is a sacrilege that someone as vile and dishonest as Hillary would be given this honor. She is not even Irish! You should be kissing the Blarney Stone rather than her backside! She is full of Blarney (putting it mildly!).
