SO IT wasn’t the way we usually celebrate St Patrick’s Day, but it was definitely a day we will remember for a long time to come.
The coronavirus pandemic called a halt to our usual shenanigans with all pubs closed and parades cancelled, but this didn’t stop the people of Clare having the craic.
There were mini parades up and down the county, starting with this gem from Nicola O’Halloran:

The Mowat Family were stepping out:

The Fox family from Shannon took it to another level with their Ballycasey Close parade:
What an amazing show of positivity and solidarity from the Banner. Well done everyone. Virtual high five!
