There’s no post-St. Patrick’s Day lull for these lads and lasses. They’re working on a trio of projects that thrust their proud heritage into the public square.

First up, they’re gathering firsthand accounts of Irish immigrants who found jobs as domestic, live-in workers in Connecticut. Maids, nannies, drivers, cooks — they’re all potential stars of an upcoming exhibit that tells the powerful story of young men and women who came over from Ireland.

“We’re developing the list now,” said George Waldron, president of the group. “The Irish were unique, in the sense that more women than men were coming in. Most came over as single women and worked as domestic help.”
