Written By Mary Duffy

St. Patrick’s Day 2020 was celebrated in a completely different way than we are used to. We are in the midst of the Covid-19 global pandemic and have had to adjust out celebration of our national holiday accordingly.

Here are photos captured around the village and beyond and by people from Collinstown showing how we celebrated our national holiday while adhering to social distancing and in between all the hand washing.

We would love to add your photos from your St. Patrick's Day celebrations - tag Collinstown Action Group on Facebook, email them to collinstownactiongroup@gmail.com or WhatsApp them to 086 0867132

Thank you
