Three years on from the last parade, it has been announced that the Clondalkin St Patrick’s Day parade is set to return to the village this year.
Local Independent Councillor Francis Timmons , who is also Parade Chair, is sending a call-out for people to get invloved and make it the biggest parade so far!
‘’I am delighted that after two years of no parade the Clondalkin Patricks day Parade will be returning to Clondalkin village,” Councillor Timmons said.
“We are delighted that the Clondalkin Youth Band have confirmed they will be taking part.
“We have launched our callout for participants, volunteers and a grand Marshall.
“Previous Grand marshals included Mary Kennedy, Colm Gavin, Mary Dardis, Philip and Gemma Carr and last year online Uimhir.
