****IMPORTANT NOTICE****
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
It is with the utmost regret that we have to cancel the 2023 st Patrick’s day parade.

Following todays crisis meeting of the committee we have been left with no choice but to cancel the parade.

We have not received enough participants for the parade.
We also have not received sufficient sponsorship to cover our increased costs this year.
But most importantly, we have not received enough volunteers to steward at road closure points and along the parade route.
This means we have no other choice, particularly from a health and safety aspect, we have to cancel this years parade.

We are absolutely devastated, this parade is for the kids and we work so hard every year to make this the best day for them all, so we are so sorry we have to cancel.

But we simply cannot run the parade this year. It’s impossible.

Thanks to everyone that helped us so far.

The Parade committee 🇮🇪
