Cork, Kerry agus an Daingean

Gardaí in Cork City estimated over 50,000 people lined the city streets for this year’s St Patrick’s Day parade – a celebration of ‘Pure Imagination’.

Agus sa Daingean i gContae Chiarraí, bhí daoine dúistithe le breacadh an lae – don bparáid is luaithe in Éirinn.

Galway again played host to the west’s biggest parade, where Ireland’s Olympic preparations were celebrated by a range of local clubs and organisations.

Thousands of people lined the route through the city, for an event filled with noise, colour and action.

The energy and innovation of young people in particular were themes at parades across the Mid West today as thousands of community and sporting groups took part.

Sligo, Moville, Drumshambo and Gaoith Dobhair

Parades in the north west of the country celebrated everything from the Wild Atlantic way to Eurovision winners and new communities living locally.

Midlands

Crowds were out before Mass ahead of the first parade in the Midlands.

Elsewhere, spectators and participants avoided downpours to enjoy the celebrations.

Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Carlow

The weather played its part today in the south-east as the sun shone in most areas as parades passed through the towns and cities.

Large crowds came out, attracted by favourable conditions and plenty of colour – most of it green.

Oram, Killeshandra, Ardee and Slane

Starting with the shortest parade of the year in Oram, Co Monaghan, the parades certainly brought the sun to the North East.
