BIO: Per Summer 1998 issue of "The World Of Hibernia," Denis Mulcahy (then 54) was founder and chairman of "Project Children" as well as a detective for the NYPD Bomb Squad. The Irish in America have always had an inclination toward law enforcement, yet the stereotypical image of the Irish cop walking the beat, twirling a night stick and whistling a happy tune has given way to a more modern picture. Detective Denis Mulcahy, buffered with 70 lbs. of protective gear and a bomb-sniffing robot has investigated both the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing in 1995. Mulcahy is respected for his expertise in the area of detecting and disposing of explosives. (I have heard about this respected gentleman for years and hope this note finds him safe from the events of 09/11). Mulcahy also runs "Project Children," a charity he founded in 1975. The Cork native started the group during one of the bloodiest years of the Troubles. What began with the opening of his and some friends' homes to six children from Belfast has blossomed into the short-term placement of 13,000 Northern Irish youth for safety into homes throughout the United States. As well, the children are helped to learn about tolerance and respect for others and life free from secterian violence. Mr. Mulcahy freely admits to be exhausted much of the time, but states he wouldn't change places with anyone else.
