Boston Irish Honors Luncheon is sold-out

FRIDAY OCT 25, 2024- JFK LIBRARY

A committee planning the 14th annual Boston Irish Honors luncheon – scheduled for Fri., Oct. 25, 2024, at the John F. Kennedy Library on Dorchester’s Columbia Point – has finalized its slate of honorees. Three outstanding people with deep Boston Irish legacies will be inducted into the Boston Irish Hall of Honors:

Bill Cleary Jr., a 1960 Winter Olympics gold medalist in hockey and the longtime coach of Harvard’s men’s hockey team; Regina Quinlan Doherty, retired Superior Court Judge; and William M. Bulger, the legendary president of the state Senate and former President of the University of Massachusetts. (The current UMass President Marty Meehan, was nominated to be a 2024 Honors recipient, but his nomination has been postponed due to a conflict in his schedule.)

The Irish Honors event offers a platform to acknowledge exemplary individuals who embrace our cultural heritage and customs. This unique event, celebrating the history of Boston’s Irish people and their families, has become a popular annual tradition for our city's Irish community. An event committee is co-chaired by Katherine P. Craven and Paul Haley.
