Music is a big part of our St Paddy's day; including "The Wearing of the Green" and John Lennon's "If you had the Luck of the Irish". It's a day of great shame and sorrow as well as celebration and drunkenness

Don't forget the dog show ! Only the Irish could always have the Dublin international dog show on St Paddy's day; well there's not going to be any crowds, traffic or hotels full to the visitors like on other days we could choose.....are there? !

St Patrick is the myth. The character is based on three men ,who went to Ireland .Two did reasonable work,(as much as can be called that ,when destroying a culture).The third was a very troubled lad called Patrick, who had, an unnatural affrction for sheep. One could say that he was the first Australian.
