Lá Fhéile Bríde Sona Duit! Hill of Allen lit up for Kildare saint's feast day

The Hill of Allen was lit up last night to celebrate St Brigid's Day in Kildare. 

Cupidstown Hill in the east of the county was also illuminated. 

In a video posted on Twitter by Into Kildare, Singer Jack L performed the Curragh of Kildare anthem at the Hill of Allen to kick off celebrations in the county. 

Mayor of Kildare Cllr Naoise O Cearúil said that Lilywhites were looking forward to La Fhéile Bríde 2022 as well as the 1,500th anniversary events for 2024. 

CEO of Into Kildare Áine Mangan said she would like to wish "Lá Fheile Bríde" to everybody at home and abroad. 

Taoiseach Micheál Martin also lit a candle outside Government Buildings and said: "I want to wish the people of Kildare and indeed families across the country a happy and a healthy Lá Fhéile Bríde. Ar aghaidh libh!"
