What a fantastic St.Patrick’s Day parade in Twenty Twenty Two!
We thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it! The crowd on the streets was just amazing! Thank you to everyone who has helped to make our float for the parade.
Firstly we would like to say a big thank you to Aiden Mchugh for personally making the pole for our flag mast, and for coming in and teaching our members Jake and Jane how to mast the flag and raise it. He also taught us the correct protocol in facing the flag and saluting it.
Keeping the theme ‘Community Coming Together’, we showcased flags from different countries highlighting one of our ISL classes, where we learned the signs for different European countries and we wanted to reflect in current times we are ‘united as one’.
Thank you to Richie Byrne and Freddie Earle for driving the jeep and trailer and for leading our float in the parade.
Thank you to Brendan O'Rourke our wonderful graphic designer who created our Athy Sing & Sign banner and to DataPrint for printing it.
Thank you to Frank Fanning a parent of one of our members Ciara, for joining us on the day and the capturing the magic of the day!
Many thanks to all other photographers who have shared beautiful photos with us Peadar Doogue, Larry Connell, Aisling Hyland Melanie Byrne and many more…It is very much appreciated.
A big congratulations to Patricia Berry and to all the volunteers for making St Patrick’s Day Parade a huge success.
Specials thanks to committee members; Linda Dobbyn, Breda Moore Flynn, Mary Byrne and Majella Conlan Harris for all your help and to all the parents for their support on the day.
Finally we would like to say a big thank you to all our members young and old for joining us on the day and making our float colourful and for signing absolutely beautifully, the Irish National Anthem in ISL. You have done us proud!
