Dressed in their Sunday finest, the stylish-looking residents were joined by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mary McMahon</span> (VEC), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Suzanne</span> (GRSG) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brendan Smith</span> (Galway) who gave a warm Irish weclome to everyone present and introduced the special guest of honour for the night- <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Frank Fahey TD</span>. Frank is one of Galway's constituency representatives in the national parliament or <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dáil Éireann</span> . He thanked all the volunteers for their great efforts, outlined the importance of multi-culturalism and the efforts that the Irish government is undertaking to promote integration.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Jjgee7FvEY/SXNGdkgDVII/AAAAAAAABEM/1UIXB_TjHvI/s1600-h/egxmas08adgrp2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
