From vintage cars to camogie, a pipe band to St Patrick himself - this year's Urlingford St Patrick's Day Parade had it all!

Organised by Urlingford Town Team CLG and the Mill Family Resource Centre, community groups joined school parties, local companies and event the fire brigade, to bring a real sense of fun and celebration to our national day. Well done to everyone who helped to organise the event and everyone who made such a great effort to take part.
