Sir, –In the very recent past, St Patrick’s Day parades all over the country, including in our capital city, were cancelled due to the pandemic. It was an entirely reasonable decision to cancel these festivities. But now we can enjoy them. Whether it’s a large or small event, we should get out there, appreciate the effort that goes into these wonderful community celebrations, and delight in them to the full.
Happy St Patrick’s Day! – Yours, etc,
MARY BYRNE,
Dublin 8.
