The Irish community has lost another wonderful woman. Please keep the Shanahan, Burke, Horsley and Roach families in your prayers on the loss of their matriarch Iris Joan Shanahan.
Our Irish world was blessed to have her and all her kindness. She was a mighty force and those who had the pleasure to know her will always remember a great woman who loved her God & family above all else. May her soul rest in peace and may she know eternal rest and perpetual light shine upon her.

The Daughters of Erin was a dream that became a reality on October 15, 1978. Ten Irish-American women met at St. Patrick's social hall to form what has become central Ohio's largest Irish-American women's organization.
Upon inception, these women envisioned an organization that would perpetuate Irish music, culture, history and customs, as well as providing assistance for those in need, regardless of race, creed or religion. With persistence and hard work, their dream became a successful reality.
Since 1978, the Daughters of Erin has become a viable force within the community, raising more than $800,000 for local, national and international charities. Dedicated, caring women have achieved these efforts. We have devoted unselfishly of our time and talent by holding parties, bake sales, yard sales and raffles.
The Daughters of Erin also participates with local Irish organizations in parades, festivals, picnics and other cultural events.
Celebrating 20 years! In 2005, we coordinated with the Dublin Irish Festival and created an Irish Tea Room. Stop by to relax and enjoy homemade scones, breads and a cup of hot or cold tea! On Sunday, we serve our delicious bread pudding for breakfast, until is sells out!
The Daughters of Erin Irish Theater Project was created to showcase plays about Irish heritage. This established the funding for the D.O.E. College Scholarship.
These events allow the Daughters of Erin to adopt families during the Thanksgiving Christmas holidays, providing food, clothing and gifts to local needy families. We offer an Ireland visit to member's families through the Irish Experience Program - a six-week study program offered to high school students interested in studying their heritage and culture. Some of the other humanitarian efforts include entertaining senior citizens, handicapped and homeless children through their own Clown Unit and Columbus Celtic Chorus.
