St Patrick’s Day celebrations are underway across the globe, but arguably the best place to be is Temple Bar in the heart of Ireland’s capital city.
The iconic Dublin area is synonymous with Irish culture and each year on March 17 thousands of revellers head there to ‘drown their sorrows’ and celebrate Ireland’s patron saint.
That came to an abrupt halt in 2020, when the first Covid case was detected in Ireland and the country went into a major lockdown. A stay-at-home order was issued, businesses and schools shut, and the St Patrick’s Day parade was cancelled outright.
