Preparations are being finalised for a busy programme of events in Clonmel on St Patrick’s Day.
Champion boxer Shauna O’Keeffe, the winner of five national titles, will be the Grand Marshal for the St Patrick’s Day Parade in her hometown.
It will be a busy couple of days for Shauna, who will take part in her second professional fight, and her first in Ireland, in Salthill, Galway on Saturday, March 16, when she takes on Poland’s Angelika Oles.
She will stay overnight in Galway before travelling to Clonmel the following morning.
St Patrick’s Day in Clonmel will commence with the traditional flag-raising ceremony at St Patrick’s Well at 8am.
The morning parade leaves Mitchel Street at 11.30am for Mass, which will be celebrated as Gaeilge in St Mary’s Church, Irishtown at 12 noon.
The morning parade will be led to St Mary’s Church by Banna Chluain Meala and will include the Grand Marshal, councillors and dignitaries.
The main St Patrick’s Day Parade will commence at Irishtown at 3pm.
The parade will progress down O’Connell Street, Gladstone Street, Market Street, Emmet Street and will finish in Parnell Street outside the Town Hall.
