PICTURES: Crowds gather to celebrate St Patrick's Day Parade in Cahir

In perhaps the biggest parade in Cahir to date, huge crowds lined the streets this year for the St Patricks Day Parade in Cahir.

We had a huge amount of entries for the parade and with the theme being ‘Colours of the Rainbow’ there was a fantastic
display of colour all round! Everyone put in such a big effort and the variety was fantastic.
