This was not the first time Irene Kennedy and President Kennedy's paths had crossed. In January 1961 prior to the inauguration of Kennedy The Washington Star reported that Irene's sister Patsy Kennedy:
"One of the most loyal volunteers by the name of Patricia Kennedy is no relation of JFK. She is not even a citizen of the United States of America. Attractive Miss Kennedy, who is social secretary at the Pakistan [Ally Kahn] Embassy, hails from Dublin. Not only is she enthusiastic about things Irish and American, but her sister [Irene] is Secretary of Dublin's Irish-American Society."
Irene was not only Secretary she was one of the founders of the Irish-American Society.
Another Irish newspaper reported:
"Woman Who Won Votes for Him [JFK] In Ireland."
Irene, 15 Longford Terrace, Monkstown, who campaigned in Ireland for the new U.S. President, today sent him a telegram of congratulations.
