Saint Patrick’s Day parades are a live prospect for the first time in three years, but one Tipperary town says they’ll be opting for a virtual version again.
The Thurles St Patrick’s Day Parade Committee say the decision was made earlier this month to not hold a physical parade given ongoing issues with Covid-19.
Committee Chair, Johnny Kenehan, says they’re continuing to proceed with caution, and that the “safety of the community is a major concern” to them.
They’ve opted to hold a virtual parade in March in association with Cruthaigh Thurles.
