The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
AS befitting a as place known far and wide as The Long Village, the St Patrick’s Day parade in Doonbeg was a long-tailed and very colourful affair. It reflected many aspect of local life, with quite an emphasis on the 1,00th anniversary of the death of Brian Boru.
On of the most remarked upon floats was that which paid tribute to the late Padraig Haugh, the Bard of Bansha, a poet and raconteur, who penned many a verse in respect of great occasions in the parish.
A very big crowd turned out to enjoy the parade.
