It's filled with Foleys, McGraths, Dwyers and Riordans from places like Carrick on Suir, Youghal and Limerick, it's surrounded by the Atlantic and the residents of Tilting love a good session in a shed.

While that may sound like it could be anywhere on this island, the most Irish place in the world is actually about 3000 miles directly across the ocean from here.

Tilting is a small community on Fogo Island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and it is full to the brim of Irish people!

Maureen Foley, resident of Tilting, joined Dermot and Dave to explain how her ancestors ended up setting up home in Tilting and how they all still speak with an Irish accent hundreds of years later!
