The St Patrick's bank holiday is on a Friday this year and everyone is looking forward to the long weekend.
The theme for St Patrick's day this year is 'We are one', celebrating all people coming together in Dublin for the national holiday.
With many activities on over the weekend and on the day, there is a lot to look forward to but for last minute party planners it can be difficult to know what times you are allowed to buy alcohol on St. Patrick's day.
