He welcomed key Irish and Irish-American figures, including former Irish President Mary Robinson. Mamdani drew parallels between Irelands past struggles and the Palestinian cause. He also attended mass at St. Patricks Cathedral, a move seen as a nod to Catholic New Yorkers. Mamdani met with Archbishop Ronald Hicks, praising his work in uplifting marginalized communities.
