Míle buíochas leis an bPríomhoide, Orflaith Ní Mhaicína, as úsáid a thabhairt dúinn as tailte na Gaelscoile do thús na paráide. Gabhaimid buíochas freisin le Aaron Cassidy agus a fhoireann as ucht a gcuid cabhrach leis an gclós scoile a chur in ord.

Táimid fíorbhuíoch as an tacaíocht agus an comhoibriú a chuir go mór le rath an lae. 🤩☘️🎶🇮🇪

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to those who so generously supported the Donabate St Patrick’s Festival through the use of the Parish facilities.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Fr Augustine, Bernie and the Parish Pastoral Committee, as well as Breda Dockrell and Jim O’Donohoe, for their kindness, support and cooperation in helping make the event possible.

We also take a moment to remember Fr Pat Reilly (RIP), whose encouragement and support were instrumental from the festival’s very beginning in 2025. His belief in the importance of community celebration continues to be felt and remembered.

Your support played a vital role in the success of this year’s festival, and we are deeply grateful.💚✨☘️
