Moneygall, County Offaly Ireland

Yesterday, we took a tour through Moneygall, which was home to one of Barack Obama's ancestors. President Obama came to this town in May 2011 and the town is having a July 4th celebration.



'The Irish helped forge the very promise of America….Irish hands have signed our founding documents and fought in our wars. They’ve helped build our greatest cities. Through tragedy and triumph, despite bigotry and hostility, and against all odds, the Irish created a place for themselves in the American story.' – President Barack Obama
