The website stated that this was "an incredible testament that speaks to the strength of this Order and of the commitment of Hibernians all across New York State to preserving our Irish history and serving our communities both at home and in Ireland."


As well as all the serious business of running the AOH in the Empire State, those attending the convention will be availing of celebratory gatherings such as an Icebreaker Tailgate, an Irish & Awards Night, a Banquet Night, and a Syracuse Casino Night.

A number of leading entertainers are also lined up for daily and evening gatherings for the convention which runs from Wednesday July 7 to Saturday the 10th.

The main gathering spot is the Downtown Syracuse Marriott Hotel but another certain meeting place will be the famed Tipperary Hill, the landmark city crossroads where the traffic lights are inverted with green on the top.
