There'll be more than just Irish jigs going on in Tralee as the town gets ready for a dance event to mark St Patrick's Day.

Kerry County Council's dancer-in-residence Catherine Young has organised the CÉILÍ Afro Dabke Ukraine - an evening of multicultural music and dance this week.

Dabke is a traditional dance from Palestine and Syria while the event will also feature African, Ukrainian folk and Irish céilí dances.

It'll showcase the talents of community groups who've taken part in dance workshops in Ballybunion and Tralee.

The project received financial support from the Healthy Ireland Government initiative under the Ukrainian Refugee Health and Wellbeing Fund.
