Irish Producer Maeve Conran, takes a nostalgic look back at what the old St. Patrick's day celebrations were like...but Ireland 20 years ago was a whole other world. The new 21st century Ireland is a whole different thing, and so is the celebration of the national holiday. Interviews with a priest and theologian on the religous and historical significance of St. Patrick, aswell as a talk with the man in charge of the St. Patricks Day Festival, no longer just a 1 day deal, but a 5 day, event, expecting 1 million attendees. But the real celebration happens in the local pub, as barman Vivian Walsh, explains...

Review of The real Irish St. Patrick's Day
Thanks to Maeve Conran, I'm just back from celebrating Saint Patrick's day in Dublin...and not a green beer was found!
Maeve showed me how the Irish celebrate Saint Patrick's
and what it means to them - from the history of its namesake to how many barrels of Guiness one pub serves on the day.
Nicely produced.
Cheers, Maeve.
