From Monseratt to Tokyo the Irish Diaspora and those who hold Ireland close to their hearts will be donning green this March to celebrate the global phenomenon known as St. Patrickâs Day. Punching above its weight is an old adage trotted out often with relation to the Irish, but when it comes to the national holiday that is St. Patrick s Day, this saying is spot on. While the population of the island of Ireland, perched off the west of Europe, is just over 6.7 million, a whopping 70+ million people around the world claim Irish ancestry. It is little wonder that March 17, St. Patrick s Day has turned into a worldwide celebration.

“Where in God’s name are you taking me?” my eldest sister Norma said, looking out at the unfamiliar area we were driving through.
“Hold your horses, Norm, we’re nearly there,” I said.
I knew we weren’t far from The Embankment, Mick McCarthy’s iconic live music venue on the Blessington Road. The Embankment was then a place of entertainment, of chicken-in-the rough and whatever-you’re-havin’-yourself when it came to liquid libations.

During the final day of the Women & Worth Summit: Actions Speak Louder than Words, we brought together a panel to discuss the practicalities of virtual networking.
In the first minutes of the session, we learned that over the past year, Susan McPherson walked from New York City to Sioux Falls, South Dakota in equivalent steps around her neighborhood. Kathleen Entwistle switched jobs, making the move from UBS to Morgan Stanley. Ashley Hunter has been keeping up with TikTok, singing around the house and starting a new business based in Bermuda. And while we waited for moderator Jane Hanson to join, the audience helped Susan decide whether or not to keep her scarf on.

Hedge-fund billionaire David Tepper and his wife, Nicole, are on the buyer’s side of an off-market sale that closed Friday for as much as $73 million for a never-lived-in oceanfront mansion on the North End of Palm Beach, sources have confirmed for the Palm Beach Daily News.
The price recorded late Friday afternoon with the deed for 905 N. Ocean Blvd. was $68.385 million. Recorded prices are often lower than contract prices because the latter may include items such as real estate commissions, fees and furnishings, real estate observers say.
