Irish American Heritage Month 2019

President Trump on March 1 declared Irish American Heritage Month, officially designating March to the Irish.
"We celebrate the indispensable contributions Irish Americans have made to every chapter of our nation's history," Trump said of the immigrant group.
Irish American Heritage Month began in March 1991 to honor the achievements and contributions of Irish immigrants and their descendants living in the United States.
During the month of St Patrick’s Day, the Taoiseach travels to the US to present the President with a bowl of shamrock, a traditional symbol of Ireland. This is generally followed by the Friends of Ireland Luncheon hosted by the current Speaker of the House and attended by the President or Vice-President.
During March 2019, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is set to travel to the White House.

Unluckily Easter is not to fall in our March holidays in 2019 and we have to wait until April this year for all that chocolate. Easter Sunday 2019 will fall on April 21, 2019.
