The thousands of people who will throng cities, towns, and villages all over the country on Friday for the annual St Patrick's Day festivities have been given one key bit of advice: bring an umbrella.
Having missed out on two years due to the pandemic, many are making up for lost time, with extravagant parades planned all across the country. The country's earliest parade has already taken place in Co Kerry.
