Safeguarding Course
A warm invitation from our Ambassador Dan Mulhall and The Mayor of London and London Irish Community are calling all GAA Clubs and young Gaels in London to get involved in this years 12th annual St Patrick's Day Parade in the heart of London on Sunday the 13th of March 2016 to commemorate the 100 Year Anniversary of the 1916 Rising. The Embassy are very excited this year to be working with Transport for London on some initiatives to bring St. Patrick’s Day, all things Irish and the Irish in Britain to the London Underground.
A central idea is to have key tube stations showcasing Irish creative talent on, or around, Saturday 12th, Sunday 13 March 2016 (to coincide with the London St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade) and St. Patrick’s Day itself (Thursday 17 March 2016). We would urge as many of you as possible to take up this fantastic opportunity for the Gaels of London to showcase their talents and be proud to wear your club or County colors while celebrating our heritage and culture and taking part in what promises to be a truly spectacular occasion for all involved. The parade leaves Green Park at 12 noon and features spectacular pageantry, wonderful floats, marching bands from across the UK, sports clubs and Irish dancing schools. If you are interested please go to register if you and your Club/organisation/group wish to take part apply before Friday 19th February.
