Community spirit shines through at St Patrick’s Day events across Wicklow praised

Fine Gael Wicklow TD, Simon Harris, has praised the sense of community evident at events and parades marking St Patrick’s Day across Wicklow. Deputy Harris said, “I was delighted to be able to attend the St. Patrick’s Day parades in Bray and Greystones, but I know the day was marked in style at events throughout the county.”

“St Patrick’s Day is the one day a year where the whole community comes together and can see for themselves the wonderful work done by the many local organisations working tirelessly on their behalf, often behind the scenes. It is heartening to see so many young people from local clubs and community groups involved in the parade and it always adds a great sense of fun to the day.”

“This year it was particularly exciting to see new local businesses taking the opportunity to promote their businesses within the town, and I’d like to wish them the very best of success over the coming year and beyond.”
