Tralee to Feature in Dublin Parade

 

Tralee is one of five Tidy Towns groups invited to participated in this years St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin. SuperValue has sponsored one of the main parade attractions to mark the 50th year of the National Tidy Towns Competition and 30 students, the majority drawn from the Mercy Mounthawk Transition Year group, will represent Tralee. Local co-ordinator Pat Hurley and visiting choreographer Marina of TDC Projects have been putting the students through their paces at the Kerry Scout Hall in Matt Talbot Road. It’s a tight deadline, said Pat, but everything is falling into place. Thye group will be among 100 participants on the Tidy Towns “Energy” entry which will be one of the most spectacular in the national parade which will be broadcast live on Irish and US coat-to-coast TV on St. Patrick’s Day. Tralee’s participation is supported by SuperValu, Tidy Tralee Together and Tralee Town Council.
