As part of the St Patrick’s Day programme for 2024, I have the privilege of travelling to Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia to promote Ireland, and Irish interests and values. However, this means I will sadly be missing the Laois and Offaly events celebrating our national day.
Regardless, I am excited to share this list of St. Patrick’s Day parades happening across Laois and Offaly this coming St Patrick’s Day to ensure you don’t miss your local parade. Do make sure to check local information as times and venues may change.
