Here is a poor picture of Ben shaking Mary McAleese's hand and thanking her for visiting Missoula.
Here is my professor Traolach O'Riordian, speaking in the Irish language, welcoming the President.
Overall, the event was great fun. It made me very proud to have studied under Traolach, at the UM, as well as proud of being a citizen of Montana. Montana and Ireland have wonderful cultural connects and I'm looking forward to watching the Irish Studies program here develop and grow. Apparently this will be the only Irish Studies program west of the Mississipi (the only other being at Notre Dame).
