Towns big and small parade their Irish pride

CROWDS at Ennis’s St Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday witnessed a rare public outing from Eamon de Valera’s 1947 Plymouth Dodge.

The late President’s Dodge is on permanent display at the Clare County Library and was used yesterday for the first time in 13 years as it played a full part in the parade.

The Dodge was one of many attractions that attracted thousands to Ennis’s medieval streets for the first St Patrick’s Day parade in three years.
