We also go to downtown Los Angeles where there is a small gathering to celebrate Irishman of the Year 2014 where we interview its recipient singer Dennis McNeil, watch traditional Irish dancing, get a history lesson on the Ireland connection to The Titanic as well as other factoids about anything Irish, and interview award winning actress Fionnula Flanagan.
