St Patrick's Day is one of the most important and influential aspects of Irish diplomacy abroad. From the Taoiseach's visit to Washington to the celebrations in over 50 countries, it is Ireland's chance to make its voice heard. Given its importance I could think of no other topic more suitable for St Patrick's Day week. Joining me this week was Donocha Geoghan and Paige Hakowski.
