DENNIS J. KUCINICH of ohio in the house of representatives Thursday, July 17, 2008 Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Stephen Mulloy, who dedicated his life to serving as a community organizer on behalf of Irish-Americans in the Greater Cleveland Area. Stephen Mulloy was born in Keel, County Mayo, Ireland and immigrated to Cleveland in 1954. Just a few short weeks after settling into his new home in Cleveland, he became active in numerous Irish-American community organizations in which he would remain active for over fifty years. His participation, dedication, and leadership made him an invaluable member not only to the Irish-American community, but also to the Greater Cleveland community. Many in the Greater Cleveland Community were familiar with Mr. Mulloy as it was his voice that kicked off the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Cleveland. Each year he beautifully sang both the Irish and U.S. national anthems, and in 2007, he served as the grand marshal of the Parade. Mr. Mulloy was a member of several organizations including the West Side Irish-American Club, in which he served four one-year terms as President; the United Irish Societies, the Cleveland branch of the Irish National Caucus, and the St. Jarlath Gaelic Football Club, which he also played with for several years. He also was the founding member of the Mayo Society of Cleveland and served as past officer of the Irish Northern Aid organization. In addition to singing the national anthems at Cleveland's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, he was a renowned bag pipe player in the Shamrock Pipe Band. Mr. Mulloy also arranged several tours to Ireland for a local theatrical company, the Cleveland Irish Players and once in 2004, organized and led a trip for Mayor Jane Campbell and several Clevelanders to Achill Island. Mr. Mulloy's leadership and personable demeanor allowed him to connect with many of Cleveland's diverse communities and he was recognized several times for his dedication and work in the Greater Cleveland Community. Earlier this year, he was the recipient of the Mayo Society of Cleveland Man of the Year Award. In 2000 he was honored with the Man of the Year Award by the first group he joined after immigrating from Ireland, the West Side Irish-American Club. Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in celebrating the life of Stephen Mulloy, who dedicated his life to serving his family and his community. ____________________
