While the President usually marks the Day by attending a number of public events, including the parade in Dublin’s city centre, and by hosting receptions for groups and people that have made a particular contribution to Irish society, this year the President has chosen to publish a video message to send his best wishes to the Irish people and reflect on the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
”A day to remember our migrant history."
This is a beautiful statement about war, peace, COVID, migration and the reality of this day. “Patrick arrived to Ireland as a slave.”
If you need some music to help celebrate today Folk Alley has a lovely stream all day.
