Row over St Patrick’s Day Parade leaves retailers and organisers at odds

KILKENNY ADVERTISER, January 27, 2012

Retailers across Kilkenny city have asked that the St Patrick’s Day Parade which is planned for Saturday March 17, be held on Sunday March 18, in a bid to prevent a negative effect on retail sales in the city on the busiest retail day of the week.

A meeting takes place this afternoon of the organisers and the St Patrick’s Day parade committee in City Hall to iron out the difficulties that currently exist between the members and the groups that they represent, including the John St Traders, the High Street Traders, members of Kilkenny Chamber, Fáilte Ireland, and the borough council.
