St Patrick Day is marked with the annual parade in Dublin city centre and religious services across the country. Large crowds lined Dublin s O’Connell Street for the Saint Patrick s Day parade led by the Lord Mayor Councillor Paddy Dunne in his newly restored coach, last seen in service 40 years ago. The traditional blessing of the shamrock took place and was presented to the city councillors. Marching bands, floats, community groups, clubs, singers and dancers all took part passing the viewing stand where President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh was seated. As well as the usual homegrown displays, there was also an international element to the parade including the Kikvorsch band from Holland and many Americans bringing their bi-centenary celebrations to Irish shores. 150 members of the Boston police force took part in the Dublin parade and were led down O’Connell Street by the Garda band.

Liam Carroll, who has died at the age of 70, went from being a billionaire builder and property developer to being massively in debt within the space of a few short weeks that August, and the billions owed by the unassuming businessman contributed to the catastrophic economic disaster that engulfed the country. He was also an unlikely tycoon. While other developers bought stately homes and travelled to glitzy social and sporting events by helicopter, Carroll lived in a suburban home in Mount Merrion, Dublin and followed League of Ireland football. He drove a battered old red Toyota and went to evening mass in the nearby St Therese s Church on a Sunday, followed by a single pint of Smithwicks in Kie ....
The latest case involves claims that while certain types of construction work is exempt from restrictions, other types, such as the construction of private housing, are being unfairly discriminated against.
