Celebrations continue apace, while Ireland and Scotland prepare for rugby international
The Dublin St Patrick’s Day festivities were “a good-natured success” with more events yet to come over the next two days as well as the Six Nations rugby match in the city on Saturday .
But overall footfall monitored by a network of cameras in the streets was 470,000 – above the 423,000 figure for 2019. Richard Guiney of Dublin Town said the event was good natured with a lot of overseas visitors. While numbers were higher than 2019 Mr Guiney said he recalled 2019 as being “very cold” . He noted a large number of American accents which he said was a positive sign that US visitors who spend heavily and stay longer were travelling to Ireland once again.
