Deputy Consul General in New York Peter Ryan, who co-ordinated two ‘Irish Days of Action’ for the communities most affected by Hurricane Sandy, including Breezy Point, is assisting with the effort. The Ireland Funds is also supporting the visit.

The group will stay on site in Breezy Point and will work alongside the reconstruction team. A high profile fundraising event will also take place in Manhattan and a delegation from the team will attend to promote the visit and the on-going efforts to rebuild the community.
