Congratulations to Billy Higgins of South Boston, who was one of three recipients honored with the Tip O’Neill Irish Diaspora Award in Buncrana, County Donegal in September.
Named for US Speaker of the House and US Congressman from Cambridge, Thomas P. ‘Tip’ O’Neill, whose ancestral roots are in Donegal, the annual award recognizes individuals for outstanding contributions to society, arts and culture, business, and healthcare.
Along with Higgins, Caroleann Gallagher, attorney for the U.S. Supreme Court and David McCourt, Chairman of Granahan McCourt Capital and the Chairman of National Broadband Ireland, were also honored in 2024.
