SUMMARY: Designates March 2015 as Irish American Heritage Month
in honor of all the contributions that Irish Americans have made
to better the country and state for all people. Specifically,
this resolution makes the following legislative findings:

faced severe hardship in their nation and immigrated to the
United States in search of a more promising future for
themselves and their families.
2)Irish Americans initially suffered prejudice and discrimination
upon arriving in the United States; and, as the years went on,

culture, especially in California.
3)Today, over 34 million Americans claim Irish heritage, and they
continue to contribute to American and California politics,
economy, and culture.
