It’s been all jigs, reels, wigs, makeup and lots of dancing at the CityWest Hotel in recent days as the All-Ireland Irish Dancing Championships take place.

The event attracts mothers and daughters not to mention Grannies, Grandas and the family entourage from near and far.

One such mother is Joan Macaulay Nugent who has travelled all the way from New York with her daughter, Katie. She spoke to Wendy about her experiences of dancing.
