Nominate a Grand Marshal for Clondalkin parade
CLONDALKIN St Patrick’s Day parade committee have announced that residents can nominate a Grand Marshal for the 2018 parade.
Independent councillor Francis Timmons, chairperson of the committee, said: "This year we are asking the community to have a say in who they think should lead our annual parade.
"We have had Mary Kennedy and Colm Gavin as Grand Marshals the previous two years, but this year you get a say."
"Clondalkin’s parade is a community event. Who do you feel has made a large contribution to the area and deserves recognition for their hard work? You can nominate a Grand Marshall at www.clondalkinstpatricksfestival.ie/grandmarshall.”
Residents can register a group or businesses at www.clondalkinstpatricksfestival.ie/participate/ or volunteers at www.clondalkinstpatricksfestival.ie/volunteer.

“The parade has quickly become an important event on the Clondalkin calendar,” said Cllr Timmons.
“Crowds have been huge, alongside the great enthusiasm of all those who take part each year, and 2018 has the potential to be the best yet.”
