Snakes make Patrick’s Day return

ST PATRICK may have banished snakes from Ireland – but they are set to return to Bunratty Folk Park his national feast day.

John Ruddle, chief executive of Shannon Heritage which manages Bunratty, said the snakes should prove a big hit with young visitors. “We wanted to organise an event to give people another entertainment choice to enjoy after their local parade finishes.

“A fun-filled programme of activities and events has been organised for the afternoon. This event complements our annual calendar of events designed especially for the domestic market.”
