Hotels may look to swap from refugees to tourists for St Patrick’s weekend - Catherine Martin

The State has been under major pressure over the last week to source accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers arriving into the country, with small numbers being left to sleep rough on the streets.

“No better time than St Patrick’s Day to be that welcoming message, that céad míle fáilte, that we are one as a people to celebrate diversity,” Ms Martin said.The festival returned last year after a break during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the traditional parade as well as a “festival quarter” run in Collins Barracks in Dublin city.

The 5,000-capacity grounds will see acts such as Pillow Queens, Junior Brother and John Francis Flynn perform, as well as DJ sets from LGBTQ+ club promoters Mother. “We want to make the content on the programme as diverse and inclusive for everyone, so there is something if you’re from a different community or you’ve just arrived in Ireland,” she said.
