You missed last week's Advertiser so.

Macnas is back! Should be a good parade. Doing the uni route, past the cathedral over salmon weir bridge @ half 11.

We're Macnas there they were on TV at the Dublin parade

Yeah, not really. I think the Macnas teen group were there. Couple of stilt-walkers and good costumes but that was about it. All in all, a decent parade and the sun was even shining.

How did Sheils Galway get included to drive a line of their cars in the middle of - we can see cars moving slowly around the streets any day!

Too many GAA clubs doing nothing, lacked imagination.

Ah it's great for the kids to be in their local parade though.

Thought the Filipino community put on the best display.

LOL. Had the exact same thought, celebration of the dominance of cars, was chuckling

A representation of our prominent local culture

An immigrant community which makes a substantial contribution to the local healthcare workforce, and makes an effort in celebrating local events. What's not to love about that?

Quoted rustyfrog rather than Zell12 whom I meant to quote, my post was in relation to Shiels. The Filipino and Indian groups were the best part of the parade.
