  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Justice Peter Kelly, High Court Justice of Ireland, upon the occasion 
of his arrival to Cleveland, Ohio, on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 
2010.
  During his studies at University College in Dublin, Ireland, Justice 
Peter Kelly became a member of the prestigious Honorable Society of the 
King's Inn. He was called to the Irish Bar in 1973, the Bar of England 
and Wales in 1981, the Bar of Northern Ireland in 1983, and the Inner 
Bar of Ireland in 1986. Justice Kelly was appointed Judge of the High 
Court in 1996 and has led the Commercial Division of the High Court 
since its inception in 2004.
  In addition to conducting a successful legal career, Justice Kelly is 
active in the community. He volunteers for several organizations and is 
a leader on numerous boards. He is the Director of the Dublin Choral 
Foundation and serves as Chair of the Commercial Law Centre in Dublin.
  Justice Kelly comes to Cleveland on the occasion of our annual St. 
Patrick's Day Celebration. For thirty-one years, attorneys Tim Collins 
and Thomas Scanlon have organized Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Party 
and Parade. This joyous event promotes and preserves the rich 
traditions of the Irish homeland. On March 17, our downtown streets 
will spring to life as a sea of green and the spirited sound of drums 
and bagpipes wind their way along Euclid Avenue.
  Madam Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Justice Peter Kelly as we welcome him to Cleveland on St. Patrick's 
Day. Please also join me in recognition of Tim Collins and Thomas 
Scanlon for organizing the St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
