St Patrick’s Festival Launch: Accusations of Misrepresenting Our National Day – February 1st, 2023

Eric Nelligan, who’s originally from Castleisland, is the Aontú party’s representative for Limerick. He said he was unhappy with the photo launch for St Patrick’s Festival. He said the emphasis was too much on diversity at the cost of tradition.  

Not one thing about these photos says St Patrick’s day, these are from the yesterdays official launch.

Can't see this resonating with the visitors, what does the Tourism industry think? pic.twitter.com/EYR2ZhwgLa
