And Christine Quinn has been reelected Speaker of New York City Council...despite a racial row and a challenge from a former Black Panther.
Quite an achievement for the Irish American politician who wants to be mayor of the Big Apple in 2013 as she came in for some stick over her support for a change in the rules to allow Mayor Bloomberg to fight for a third term as the city's mayor.

I look forward to having Speaker Quinn open the 'New York-New Belfast' conference on 10-11 June in New York's Grand Hyatt Hotel.
