Senator Obama has appointed a high level advisory panel on Irish issues, comprised of seven well known Irish American politicans. The group is comprised of Senators George Mitchell (retired, Maine), Chris Dodd (Connecticut), Edward Kennedy (Massachusetts) and Pat Leahy (Vermont), Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland and Congressmen Joe Crowley (New York) and Richard Neal (Massachusetts).
