The Emerald Isle Immigration Center mourns the death of former NYC Council Member Walter McCaffrey, who died on Wednesday July 10th. Walter was a steadfast and loyal friend of Emerald Isle from its beginnings in 1988, and he was a staunch supporter of immigration reform and of the Irish Immigration Reform Movement.
Through Walter’s help, and that of other key legislators, the Irish Immigration Reform Movement was able to secure important change in 1990 that helped legalize thousands of undocumented Irish Immigrants.
For many years, Emerald Isle’s Woodside, Queens conference room has long been named in honor of Walter McCaffrey, our “Godfather”.

Edward D. Lynch Funeral Home in Sunnyside
from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
