2025 Irish Person of the Year

Eileen MacNab

Eileen McNab is a force to be reckoned with, and her name is synonymous with the Irish Canadian Club of Hamilton. It’s safe to say that Eileen holds the record for the longest-serving committee member ever. 


Eileen was born on the East Coast of Canada but raised in Belfast. In 1978, she returned to Canada with her husband, Jim, and settled in Hamilton. Since then, she has been an active and vibrant part of the Irish Canadian Club.
