Mark your calendars now for the Charitable Irish Society’s 279th Annual St. Patrick Day Dinner on March l7, 2016 at the Omni Parker House Hotel, Boston. Our return to this historic hotel is an appropriate way to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising of 1916 and the many Charitable Irish Society events held at this venue in the past.
Our featured speaker, Diarmaid Ferriter, Professor of Modern History at University College, Dublin will speak on the meaning and legacy of the Easter Rising of 1916. Professor Ferriter is the author of five books on modern Irish history, including his most recent A Nation and Not a Rabble: The Irish Revolution 1913-1923. He is a frequent commentator on Irish television and radio and writes a weekly column for The Irish Times.
