Happy St. Patrick's Day

On behalf of the community here in Tobar Mhuire I want to wish you Happy St Patrick's Day where ever you happen to be on the Globe. Its a great thing that such a small country as ours has the World joining in the celebrations in honour of our national saint. Every year the party gets bigger....
Our thoughts go out particularly to those who, due to the economic depression, are forced to leave their homeland in order to find employment and the prospect of a better life. We had hoped that those days were well and truly over.....  Anyway, as our fellow Celts from Scotland would say....."HASTE YE BACK"
