Video: Not a single feck is given in this homemade St Patrick’s Day parade from Clare

This demands a bigger turnout

This demands a bigger turnout.

When it comes to the pageantry, scale and spectacle of St Patrick’s Day, this JOE always steered on the side of quiet pragmatism and stoic patriotism. No huge parade is needed.

Irish people know that they’re all amazing. You do right?

That’s why a parade or grandiose event is nice but not essential which is why this homemade Paddy’s Day parade from Carrigaholt Co Clare spoke to us.

Why waste money that could be better spent on pints when you can just ride a child’s go-kart down the street.

It’s over to you O’Connell street.
