The crew onboard Green Dragon were given a warm send off in Boston by a huge crowd of Irish supporters, all cheering on as the boat left the dock to the sound of their team song ‘Galway Girl’.

An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (The Irish Dancing Commission) has awarded Boston and the Hynes Convention Center the 2013 World Irish Dancing Championships. Boston won the event over 20 other cities around the world. This will be only the second time these championships are held in the United States and the first time they have come to Boston. Glasgow, Scotland, Dublin and Belfast are hosting the event through 2012.
