We are delighted to share some exciting news about our upcoming St Patricks Day Parade which takes place on the 16th of March in Cashel Town at 2pm.

The organisers say they understand that large events can sometimes be overwhelming, so this dedicated space will provide a calm and supportive environment for those who may have additional needs to watch and enjoy the parade from a comfortable and safe area.

As this is their first year implementing a sensory space, the organisers say that they are learning as they go along, and hope to continue improving and expanding in the years to come.

They thank the local schools for their support.
