St.Patrick’s Night, 7.30pm

Blarney-kissing Paddy, RTE 2 FM’s Rick O’Shea, has been collecting the global Irish community’s videos about what it means for them to be Irish.

Followers of the social networking sensation (check Twitter – #HowToBeIrish) have uploaded three to five minutes of YouTube-posted films describing – each in their own unique way – what being Irish means to them.

“We’re asking you to think about those feelings, images, thoughts, songs, jokes or special moments from your life which you feel best sum up ‘How To Be Irish’,” so the marketing material reads.

The full documentary gets aired on RT One (www.rte.ie/howtobeirish), St. Patrick’s Day at 7.30pm, online at www.rte.ie/player
