A sense of community is what St Patrick’s day celebrations are all about and no-where was this community spirit more evident than in the towns and villages across mid-Kerry that came together for their parades.

Some of these were on a much smaller than those in the county’s main towns but what they lacked for in size and crowds they more than made up for in spirit and pride as young and old came out to celebrate St Patrick’s day with laughter and fun.
