Dundalk's St Patrick's Day Parade will go ahead after talks were held on the matter late Friday afternoon.
In a statement, Louth County Council announced that it was "delighted to confirm that the 2026 Dundalk St Patrick's Parade will go ahead".
It had been announced earlier in the week that the parade would not be staged due to a lack of funding.
The full statement from Louth County Council:
Following positive discussions on Friday between local bodies and stakeholders - including the Dundalk St Patrick’s Day Organising Committee, Louth County Council, Dundalk Municipal District Councillors, Dundalk Credit Union, Dundalk BIDS and the Dundalk Chamber of Commerce - we are delighted to confirm that the 2026 Dundalk St Patrick’s Day Parade will go ahead!
Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Ends.
