Plenty of parades on around the county

PARADES of all shapes and sizes will take place around Galway’s towns and villages tomorrow, Saturday, from Abbeyknockmoy to Glenamaddy and Tuam to Mountbellew.
No matter what the weather brings, nothing will dampen our spirits this St Patrick’s Day. Unless you're among the thousands travelling to Croke Park, keep with tradition by taking part in or watching the parade, kitting the kids out in a bit of green, and giving the shamrock a good old shake.
