Ep 407 – St Patrick’s Day Celebrations in Manchester

This week, we’re joining the party in Manchester as the Irish community celebrate St Patrick’s Day.

We start with a civic reception hosted by Manchester City Council that celebrates the contribution made by the Irish to the city and then move on to the colourful parade.

The Irish government are represented by Minister Kieran O’Donnell TD and by Consul General Sarah Mangan.

Many thanks go out to Kevin Gallagher who filmed the parade for us.

Watch the Irish in the UK every Tuesday night at 8.00 pm on SKY 588, Youtube and Facebook.
