In March 2020, swathes of St Patrick’s Day plans were cancelled by the onset of the global pandemic with parades axed in Dublin and Belfast.

This year in Dublin, Olympic boxer Kellie Harrington and Paralympic swimmer Ellen Keane would be among those taking part in the parade.

In Belfast, the first parade since 2019 would leave City Hall at 1.00 p.m. (1300 GMT). Organisers said that the theme would be “We are all Patrick; we are all Belfast.’’
