Celebrating the Irish around the world - Irish diaspora of the month

Is there a group, community or individual in your Irish community that you want to praise? IrishCentral wants to hear from you!

As the largest Irish website in North America, IrishCentral is proud to be a touchpoint for the Irish community around the globe. We all know that there's nothing quite like the sense of community among the Irish and we want to celebrate our unsung heroes. 

Every month IrishCentral would like to one Irish group, community or individual, anywhere in the world, with the title Irish diaspora of the month.
