St Patrick’s Day returns to Ireland after two-year hiatus
France24 says Hundreds of thousands of Irish and international visitors were to celebrate St Patrick’s Day in Ireland on Thursday after a two-year pause in festivities due to the coronavirus.
Events celebrating Ireland’s patron saint were some of the first to be called off in 2020 as mass gatherings were shelved, pubs closed and international travel stopped.
But restrictions have been lifted, and organisers are billing this year’s celebrations as a symbol of the country’s return after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coordinators have promised the centrepiece parade through the streets of central Dublin on Thursday will be bigger and better than ever.
