St. Patrick’s Day 2015 next Tuesday

Events, News, Photos, Website

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!

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.

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.
