Continuing a busy week of Banter announcements, we\u2019re delighted to announce\u00a0a special panel<\/a>\u00a0as part of this year\u2019s\u00a0St Patrick\u2019s Day Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what does it mean to be Irish in 2014? Does it even matter? Does our past identity inform our future one? Or should it? What about the new wave of Irish emigrants? This Banter event will delve into questions of Irishness and unearth where our collective identity is at \u2013 or at least start the conversation.<\/p>\n
