Nenagh getting ready for St Patrick’s Day

The event, which kicks off at 2 o'clock on Thursday the 17th will include marching bands, vintage motors, floats and representatives from across the local community. 

Among the performers during the festivities will be the John F Kennedy Shamrock regiment band who first took part in the Nenagh parade during the 1980s – the 100-piece band will perform on Wednesday the 16th at the railway station. 

Independent Councillor Hughie McGrath says there's still plenty of time for people to get involved.
