LaoisToday in New York Podcast: The parade, Mike Dunphy, Michael Rainey, Padraig Fleming and much more

For the second time, the LaoisToday Podcast is coming to you from New York – albeit with an intro from Alan Hartnett in Laois.

Steven Miller and Paul Dargan are across the water for LaoisToday and are continuing their coverage.

In this episode, Steven speaks to Mike Dunphy, the president of the Laois Association in New York, in the Irish-American Historical society.

While we also hear from other members of the Laois community in New York at the parade.

As well as that, Steven chats with Michael Rainey, the CEO of Laois County Council, and the Cathaoirleach, Cllr Padraig Fleming.

We then hear from a number of members of the Timahoe Male Choir as they march past Central Park in the St Patrick’s Day parade on Monday.

We’ll finish out with their performance of Lovely Laois, which was recorded on 5th Avenue, outside the Louis Vuitton building, and close to Trump Tower and the Plaza Hotel.
