    The Liffey Champion should say. I'm almost certain Maynooth have had one every year for ages, Celbridge has one too. Leixlip never had.

    I heard a rumour that the Celbridge Parade is not going ahead this year due to lack of funding.

    The Maynooth St. Patrick's Day Parade begins at 11am on Wednesday 17th March.

    It is organise by Maynooth Community Council and this is our 25th year to do so.

    Assembly takes place at Greenfield Shopping Centre, Straffan Road and
    the Parade proceeds past the Reviewing Stand at The Square and ends at
    TESCO Shopping Centre.

    The Parade will be preceded by the IVVCC Group of Vintage Cars, some
    from 1922.* The Vintage Cars will move off at 10.55 and the Parade
    proper will follow at 11am.

    I attach the overall Parade Line up.* It is our Biggest Parade since
    the year 2000.

    On behalf of The Organising Committee I would like to thank the
    Businesses of Maynooth for their Sponsorship.* Without their help we
    would not*be able to have a Parade.* We are particular thankful to
    Willie Kiernan and George O'Connor who give their time and equipment
    free of charge.

    PDF of parade lineup attached.
