New York, NY: May 31, 2011 The noted Joycean scholar, accomplished
public speaker, Irish civil rights campaigner, gay activist, independent politician
and current front-runner in the 2011 election for the Presidency in Ireland, Senator
David Norris, will be the Guest Speaker at the Ireland-U.S. Council’s black-tie
Gala MidSummer Dinner to be held Friday, June 24 in Dublin Castle.
Senator Norris is a former senior lecturer in the English Department at Trinity College
Dublin and has been a member of Ireland’s Senate, Seanad Éireann,
since 1987. He is a prominent member of the Church of Ireland and was the first
openly gay person to be elected to public office in Ireland.
He was the principal organizer of the 1982 Joyce Centenary Celebrations in
Dublin and has been credited with “rehabilitating James Joyce in once-disapproving
Irish eyes".
The Ireland-U.S. Council was incorporated in 1962 by business leaders in
America and Ireland. A principal objective is to encourage business links between
America and Ireland, North & South. In pursuit of its mission, the Council, among
other activities, operates scholarship programs, undertakes various publishing initiatives
and frequently hosts seminar platforms and other business-oriented events in Ireland
and in America.
Council members and guests @ €250 per person.
