Here is recent footage of Christine Quinn last week discussing the late Queens Democratic County Leader Tom Manton and how she wanted to march with him in New York's St. Patrick's Day Parade, but didn't.

"On last St. Patrick's Day I had really hoped that Tom, my father and I would get to march together and it didn't work out. And I was so afraid that I was going to disappoint Tom. And I was really sick over it and I just felt terrible over that it didn't work out."

But later, according to Quinn, Manton told her he was fully in favor of her decision to skip the main St. Patrick's Day parade, whose organizers objected to the participation of self-identified gay groups, and told her to "give 'em hell."

This year's St. Patrick's Day parade is Saturday. Quinn is planning to skip it and march in a parade in Dublin instead. -- Azi Paybarah]]> http://www.observer.com/node/31722#comments Politics Christine Quinn Dublin Manton New York Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:05:49 -0400 Observer Staff 31722 at http://www.observer.com Beethoven Boot Camp For Budding Concert Pianists http://www.observer.com/node/49461 From June to September, the Italian seaside village of Positano is a mecca for seekers of dolce far  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/49461#comments Arts & Culture Dublin John O'Conor Ludwig van Beethoven Wilhelm Kempff Sun, 11 Jul 2004 20:00:00 -0400 Charles Michener 49461 at http://www.observer.com Elvis Costello's Stripped-Down, Hard-Charging Return: Wisdom and Tolerance Manage to Still Draw Blood; Critic Discovers Rocker's http://www.observer.com/node/45927 I came late to Elvis Costello.  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/45927#comments Burt Bacharach Dublin Elvis Costello Elvis Presley Sun, 28 Apr 2002 20:00:00 -0400 Jeffrey Eugenides 45927 at http://www.observer.com Elvis Costello's Stripped-Down, Hard-Charging Return: Wisdom and Tolerance Manage to Still Draw Blood; Critic Discovers Rocker's http://www.observer.com/node/45929 I came late to Elvis Costello.  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/45929#comments Arts & Culture Burt Bacharach Dublin Elvis Costello Elvis Presley Sun, 28 Apr 2002 20:00:00 -0400 Jeffrey Eugenides 45929 at http://www.observer.com The Roberts, Pitt Pairing: Was It Worth It? http://www.observer.com/node/44106 Gore Verbinski's The Mexican , from a screenplay by J.H.  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/44106#comments Arts & Culture Brad Pitt Brendan Met Trudy Dublin Julia Roberts Sun, 11 Mar 2001 19:00:00 -0500 Andrew Sarris 44106 at http://www.observer.com The Bloody Brilliant Debut of a Baby Bard From Dublin http://www.observer.com/node/43887 You must see Howie the Rookie by the Irish dramatist Mark O'Rowe, who's only 30 years old.  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/43887#comments Arts & Culture Conor McPherson Dublin Mark O'Rowe Martin McDonagh Sun, 21 Jan 2001 19:00:00 -0500 John Heilpern 43887 at http://www.observer.com We've Surrendered Moral High Ground http://www.observer.com/node/41467 The American Embassy in Dublin, like American embassies elsewhere, looks like something that Mayor R  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/41467#comments Belgrade Dublin The Balkans U.S. Department of State Sun, 09 May 1999 20:00:00 -0400 Terry Golway 41467 at http://www.observer.com Poor, Banished Children?
