Thursday night at the Rambling House in Woodlawn Bronx Borough President Ruben O'Diaz Jr. used one of his little known powers to proclaim that everyone who attended was Irish for the event. BP Diaz Jr. broke from the normal of just handing out awards to the honorees by bringing out a table and chairs so he and the Master of Ceremony Derek Woods could interview the honorees before presenting them their awards. The photos below should tell the rest of the story.
