ST PATRICK’S DAY PARADE.
Another Clonroche St Patrick’s Day parade is being planned by Clonroche Development Association. This is a major showcase for organisations and businesses in the area to present their community in a positive perspective on the National Day. It is envisaged that the support and goodwill of previous years will be expressed in making this year’s exhibition one of the biggest parades in the spectacle’s 10-year history.
We hope to have more floats in this year’s parade and we understand that planning is at an advanced stage within some businesses, sporting and community groups It will also present an opportunity for local business in the village by attracting visitors and community onlookers and it is hoped, as in previous year’s, they will avail of the opportunity and contribute in making this day a spectacle to remember.
