Bill Clinton Couldn’t Help But Hum Along To ‘Danny Boy’ At DCU Yesterday

James Fenton

Bill Clinton has been hanging around Ireland the past couple of days and even took a stroll around Dublin at the height of Storm Ophelia on Monday. 

The former U.S. President was in town to receive an honorary doctorate at DCU for his contribution to peace and reconciliation on the island of Ireland and was serenaded with a verse of ‘Danny Boy’ to which he couldn’t help but hum along. 

Can’t say we blame him.

After receiving his award, the 71-year-old flew to Belfast to meet with Arlene Foster and Gerry Adams to discuss a number of issues.
