This resolution marks the 250th anniversary of American independence by formally recognizing the contributions of Irish and Irish-American individuals to the founding of the United States, including eight Irish-descended signers of the Declaration of Independence, military figures like General John Sullivan, and John Dunlap, the Irish immigrant who printed the Declaration's first copies. Beyond this historical recognition, the resolution encourages Utah's Legislature and executive branch to form a joint committee with Irish counterparts to expand trade and cultural ties, and calls on Ireland to consider appointing an Honorary Consul General in Utah. It carries no funding and creates no binding legal obligations, but directs that copies be sent to Irish and American officials, including members of the American Irish State Legislators Caucus.
