I'm inclined to believe that though 3,000 miles apart the east coast of the US and Ireland often share (or suffer) the same weather.
For example, we've had our mini-monsoon in Belfast today and I'm told Cape Cod and Boston have just endured the rainiest June on record.
Which is tough on those Irish students out there beating the hedges looking for work with their J-1 Visas.
However, I'm hopeful that things will have cleared up by October when our conference takes place in Boston to reignite the Derry-Boston partnership. You can see our new advertisement for the conference here.
(Moments after posting this blog, I got a call from Cape Cod to tell me they're sheltering from a torrential downfall.)

Mairtin was it not in the Irish Echo that recanted the story of some of these students going home because they couldn't find work? You know there are connections all over the East coast and abroad that can be pluged into.National AOH Seamus Boyle Though I have not talked to him on this issue I know our mandate covers this issue.
