Picking up the pieces on St. Patrick’s Day

Picking up the pieces on Patrick's Day

Workers collecting the fencing after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork in 2004.

Notice the lack of clear lines on the road surface of the South Mall, and the boarded up construction site in the background. The buildings might look much the same, but the roads are clearly marked out now.

Fireworks Over Cobh

Fireworks lit the sky over Cobh last night as part of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. I’m glad Henry heard about the event as I had no idea it was on!

St. Patrick’s Day 2022

The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork since 2019 and the rain held off for most of the day and a great parade was put on by the city.

The photos above don’t do it justice. I couldn’t include every group but hopefully it will be an indication of the effort put in by a huge number of people. Well done everyone who took part!

A Pink Cadillac in Blarney

A Pink Cadillac in Blarney

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The owner of this pink Cadillac took part in the Blarney parade in 2016!

No parade this year. The village was very quiet this evening when I went for a walk there.

The 2019 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork City.

This year there was no St. Patrick’s Day parade in Blarney so my son and I went into Cork City to catch the parade there. There was a good turnout, and lots of participants in the parade. Unfortunately I picked a bad place to watch the parade from but later wandered about and found somewhere better. 🙂

2015 St. Patrick’s Day in Blarney

2015-03-17-0948-m

A few photos from the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Blarney today. It was a fabulous day for the parade. The sun was shining and it was warm. The parade went off with barely a hitch (one of the classic cars needed a push at one point) and it was great fun to watch. My favourite would have to be the toilet one by Blarney Drain Services! I was going to say it was a float but saying “toilet float” makes me feel ill.
