Review of A Priest and a Barman in Dublin

This is a soft feature about St. Patrick's Day, its religious origins, and the drinking holiday it has become today. We learn that St. Patrick wasn't even Irish, and he was a former slave. The feature covers a lot of ground, perhaps too much for a three and a half minute feature, and could be more focused. It makes good use of music, sound, and interviews, and producer Maeve Conran has a pleasant narrative delivery.
