          SUBJECT  :   Irish American Heritage Month

           SUMMARY  :   Designates March 2012 as Irish American Heritage 
          Month in honor of the multitude of contributions that Irish 
          Americans have made to the county and state.  Specifically,  this 
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)Millions of Irish people immigrated to the Unites States over 
            the last several centuries.

          2)Irish Americans initially suffered prejudice and 
            discrimination upon first arriving in the United States: but, 
            as years went on, Irish Americans became very involved in the 
            community and have made numerous contributions in all aspects 
            of American society and culture, especially in California.

          3)Today over 44 million Americans claim Irish heritage; and they 
            continue to contribute to the American and Californian 
            political, economic, and cultural landscape.
