St Patrick’s Day: Limerick celebrates

Tens of thousands of people are set to take part in St Patrick’s Day celebrations across Limerick today. In addition to the eight parades which are taking place in the city and county today, there are dozens of other festivals and events taking place in honour of our national saint. Several well-known buildings such as the Clarion Hotel, the Hunt Museaum and Adare Manor will also be turned green as part of the festivites. And while Limerick City prepares for this year’s parade of 250 St Patricks, towns and villages across the region are also busy organising their own parades to showcase the local creativity and talent on offer.
