The American-Irish Legislators Society of New York, founded in 1973, is a bipartisan organization of members of the New York State Legislature committed to promoting awareness of Irish culture, ties between Ireland and New York, and fellowship among legislators who are of Irish descent or who have an interest in Ireland and in the American-Irish community. We support many Irish organizations and initiatives throughout New York.
