St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching and, after six years, my community of Tallaght will see its parade return. My community is often portrayed in a negative manner. The absence of a St. Patrick's Day parade in the area for the six years since 2019 was very much evident in the hearts of all the people of Tallaght. South Dublin County Council recognised the need to have a parade and, in conjunction with local groups, organisations and sports clubs, it is due to make a return this year. I have many fond memories of taking part in the parade with my local GAA club as a child. It is a vital day to bring our community together and to showcase and uplift it. I call on the Minister to release funds centrally to support such vital community initiatives. All too often, we focus on the negative. When we can bring a community together and showcase what is wonderful about it, that should be supported.
