Wren Boys outing puts tradition on parade
Ryan O’Donoghue Aherne, aged three, from Waterford was getting his first taste, being paraded by proud grandad and chief whip for the day Tom Aherne, from Clane, Co Kildare.
Lord Mayor Michael Conaghan, paying his official first visit to the event, said traditions enrich and animate our lives. “And long may they live,” he declared to an appreciative cheer. “I am delighted I was invited. It’s all about having a bit of fun.”
