Michael Critchley honored at North Ward Center’s Irish Breakfast
Sunday, 23 October 2011

“Michael is not only a great lawyer, a great Irishman, but he’s also a great humanitarian,” said Stephen N. Adubato, the founder of The North Ward Center, a community development organization in Newark.

The Sept. 16 event attracted more than 100 of New Jersey’s political and community leaders, including U.S. Rep. Albio Sires, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, Senate President Steve Sweeney, Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver, Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean and Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono.

Also in attendance were Assemblyman John Wisniewski, the chair of the state Democratic party; Sen. Kevin O’Toole, the chair of the Essex County Republican party, George Gilmore, the head of the Ocean County GOP; Essex County Executive Joseph DiVencenzo and Assemblyman Tom Giblin, who sang “Irish Soldier Boy” for the crowd.



Michael Critchley, holding the shillelagh, was honored as the Irishman of the Year at Stephen N. Adubato's Irish Breakfast in Spring Lake.
