Clinton lunches with New York Irish, and Gerry Adams

New York (AFP) - Hillary Clinton was honored for her contribution to the Irish peace process on Monday, lunching with prominent Irish and Irish Americans, including Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, in New York.

Decked in emerald green, the former US Secretary of State and likely 2016 presidential candidate said ending such conflicts could serve as an example for her granddaughter Charlotte and a new generation building a better world.

Inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame, Clinton will no doubt hope such events with key voting communities will help stem controversy after the furor over her use of a private email account while in office.

Some may question her appearance alongside Republican leader Adams, who this week saw long-standing allegations that he ordered paramilitary murders as an IRA commander resurface in the New Yorker magazine.

Irish people won't forget Preisent Clinton's contributions to a peace process and respecting those who were fighting for Civil Rights long denied them by the British.
