This weekend on In Focus, we’re getting a jump on all this Irish ahead of Saint Patrick's Day weekend. 

Marisa Jacques sits down with Tim Flanagan, chairman of the Board of Directors for the Buffalo Irish Center. The Center is a family affair for Flanagan. 

Marisa also sat down with Glens Falls Mayor Sullivan William Collins. He spoke about his Irish heritage and how he is named after his mother's maiden name. 

Finally, JoDee Kenney talked with City of Syracuse Common Council Member Pat Hogan.
