I found this video posted on youtube by John Kenny of the band marching back Dooagh in the afternoon. Still searching for more photos and videos of the day.

St. Patrick’s Day 2015 next Tuesday
Unfortunately, I am not able to be in Achill for St. Patrick’s Day this year so I won’t be able to take the usual photos from the parade. I will try to get photos from other people. I would also encourage anyone to contact me with their own photos and I will be happy to post them on the site.
I can be contacted by email at paul@dooagh.com or in the comments below.
Have a great time if you are going!
Photos from 2014 St. Patrick’s Day all uploaded
Hello,
Finally (yes I know), the photos are finally uploaded for the 2014 St. Patrick’s Day parade.
See you next year! 😉

Challenging conditions at Dookinella Church
I’m going to create a 2013 page with photos over the next day or two. In the meantime, here’s a snap taken during the blustery wind and rain at Dookinella Church yesterday afternoon.
Leaving Pollagh Church
The band has just left Pollagh Church. Thankfully, the sun has come out and the earlier showers have gone for the time being. Let’s hope the conditions don’t worsen the rest of the day.
The parade has started
Good morning from Achill! It’s a very blustery day and the parade will be bracing for the band and their followers.
The band started at 8:40 by playing at Mollie’s.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
It’s after midnight in Achill. Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Go to bed and wait for the big drum to wake the band for the parade tomorrow.
