IRISH AUTHOR/PUBLISHER TO SPEAK IN PITTSBURGH;
Former Sinn Fein Councillor and Gaelic Expert to Address
Irish American Unity Conference AGM
August 5th Pittsburgh, PA & Washington, D. C. Mairtin O
Muilleoir, publisher of the Andersonstown Newsgroup of
newspapers in Belfast, which includes the Irish language
daily La, who was also a former Sinn Fein Councillor for
West Belfast will take part in the Irish American Unity
Conference annual general meeting being held at the Westin
Hotel and Convention Center beginning Sept. 30th. The
National President of the IAUC, retired Judge Andrew Somers
stated "Mairtin has a unique perspective not only on the
burden of decades of violence, corruption and injustice but
also on the prospects for economic regeneration of
communities starved of investment by successive British
rulers." Continued Somers: "He is a powerful advocate for
American support for the Good Friday Agreement and for the
type of investment that will one day bring unity to the
island."
O'Muilleoir was a Sinn Fein Councillor for West Belfast
from 1987-1997 and is the author of Belfast's Dome of
Delights—City Hall Politics 1981-2001. His address will
focus on prospects for an invigorated Irish peace process
now that the IRA has been ordered to stand down. "It is
vitally important", stated O'Muilleoir, "that Americans
recognize the pivotal role their government continues to
play not only in its dialogue with Britain on the Good
Friday treaty but in establishing a climate for investment
that continues to give new life to Irish entrepreneurship."
Mr. O'Muilleoir is married with four children. He will
address the convention and participate in workshops dealing
with media and economic issues.
