Piece Description
Irish producer, Maeve Conran, returns to her native Dublin to find that St. Patricks Day is a different kettle of fish from days of yore. Ireland is a whole different place from what it was 20 years ago, secular, modern, multicultural...so does a celebration of the origins of catholicism in Ireland, have a place in the Ireland of today? Carmelite priest Fr. Vincent O'Hara, describes how St. Patrick first came to the country and how the catholic tradition lives on. Bar man Vivian Walsh gives the inside story on what the real celebration is like, more partying than prayer, and just how much guinness can one city drink?

Review of A Priest and a Barman in Dublin
This is a soft feature about St. Patrick's Day, its religious origins, and the drinking holiday it has become today. We learn that St. Patrick wasn't even Irish, and he was a former slave. The feature covers a lot of ground, perhaps too much for a three and a half minute feature, and could be more focused. It makes good use of music, sound, and interviews, and producer Maeve Conran has a pleasant narrative delivery.
