WATCH: This Conor McGregor-themed Paddy’s Day float in Sligo was pretty class

Colm Boohig

The Notorious would have been proud.

There was quite a lot of imagination put into Paddy’s Day activities this year by Irish people; the Teresa Mannion-inspired float and the country’s shortest parade both spring to mind.

However, you’ll go a long way to find more effort put into a Patrick’s Day float than this Conor McGregor tribute in Sligo.

JOE reader Michelle Gildea sent us this video of Philip Craig and Aughanagh Celtic’s recreation of a Conor McGregor fight during the Paddy’s Day parade in Riverstown.

The amount of effort put into this must have been crazy.

Well done Aughanagh Celtic!!
