'St Patrick’s Day has about as much to do with being Irish as Christmas has to do with Jesus'

As an Irish person in London, March 17 should be a day to celebrate all things Irish, but for Katy Harrington Paddy’s Day is as authentic as green beer

I was born in Cork and lived in Ireland most of my life, although for the last six years, London has been home.

I’m incredibly proud of being Irish – in fact, it’s crazy how much I love my country.
