Irish Thought for July 27...

Irish Movies

The Matchmaker

Set in the fictional small village of Ballinagra (filmed in Roundstone, Connemara), The Matchmaker tells the story of an American named Marcy who is sent to Ireland to discover the Irish ancestry of her boss, a senator seeking the Irish-American vote.  Marcy arrives in the village during a matchmaking festival, and the matchmaker will stop at nothing to set her up with one of the eligible local bachelors.  Starring Janeane Garofalo and David O'Hara.

The senator is seeking election in Boston and that is why the Irish vote is important.  They have a big community of Irish-Americans, who, like us Kansas City-ans, are proud of their heritage.
