Event Details

IRELAND IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Come celebrate St. Patrick's Day with us and join Gene Flynn as he chronicles his travels in the Emerald Isle.

Many Americans reminisce about Ireland as a magical island, and most tours focus on that magic. However, over the past 50 years, Ireland has transformed from a slow-changing and largely rural culture to a fast-paced, secular, and technologically advanced island. Gene takes us behind the scenes to understand how this occurred and the important role the United States played in this transformation. He will also take us to the west of Ireland, where remnants of the past rural culture can still be found.
