The Mayor of Ennis says the Grand Marshalls for this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade represent the long-standing commitment of Clare’s sporting heroes to their communities.
This year’s Grand Marshalls are Jimmy O’Brien, a player and former president with Ennis Rugby Club, Aisling Rynne, the great-grandniece of Kilnamona boxer Michael McTigue, and PJ Purcell, a great grandnephew of Barefield athlete ‘Honest’ John Purcell.
Ennis’ parade this year will celebrate the theme ‘communities in action’ and commences at 11.00am from Clare County Council’s headquarters at Áras Contae an Chláir.
Mayor of Ennis and Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran Molloy has been telling Clare FM’s Rebecca O’Sullivan that the county’s sporting history is the glue that holds communities together.
