SUMMARY:'Trump\, Irish America and the New Right' - Renowned New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd and founder of IrishCentral\, Niall O’Dowd will lead a discussion of the new right phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:One of the most striking recent developments in American politics has been the emergence of Irish Americans associated with the Right and their participation in (or support for) the Trump administration. The traditional expectation that Irish Americans align themselves with the Democratic Party (led by the Kennedy family and figures like Tip O’Neill) has been overturned\, first by conservative commentators on Fox News like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity\, and then by prominent members of the Trump election team and cabinet (past and present)\, including Steve Bannon\, Michael Flynn\, John Kelly\, Sean Spicer\, Mick Mulvaney\, Kelly-Anne Conway\, and others. In the wider Republican leadership\, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy\, among others\, play an important part in this emerging trend. \nThis event is designed to develop a better a better understanding of this transformation\, what values animate it\, and how significant it is for American (and world) politics. \nMaureen Dowd\, a major American commentator on political questions as columnist for The New York Times (and The Irish Times)\, and Irish journalist Niall O’Dowd (founder of Irishcentral) will lead a discussion of this phenomenon. A panel of contributors will also participate: Dr. Kathleen Cavanaugh (NUI Galway)\, Mr. Larry Donnelly (NUI Galway)\, Prof. Eileen Gillooly (Columbia University) and Dr. Charlotte McIvor (NUI Galway). The event will be chaired by Prof. Daniel Carey\, Director of the Moore Institute at NUI Galway. \nImportant Notice \nWhile the event is free\, attendees must register in advance due to space restrictions.  Register here.   \nVisitor Information \nThere is very limited paid parking on the grounds of NUI Galway. \nOn-street parking is available nearby.
