Cold weather and a late 4.00pm start, were seen as possibly the reasons for a smaller than usual number of spectators turning up to view this years St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Thurles yesterday, March 17th.
The parade followed the usual route from Abbey Road, onto Friar St, then past the reviewing stand positioned in Liberty Square, before exiting via Slievenamon Road in the town.
Road closures remained in place during the parade, with traffic not attending this annual event, diverted via other exit routes.
