First St. Patricks Day parade unites parish

A large parish, embracing three villages, is united in anticipation and excitement as it prepares for a first-ever St Patrick’s Day festival parade.

Lisgoold, Leamlara, and Ballincurrig, in rural locations of east Cork, have a combined population of about 1,200.

The parish has been “investing every ounce of community spirit” into ensuring the historic occasion will be a great success.
