Love it or hate it: From green rivers to loan fraud, how do you feel about St Patrick’s Day trends and traditions?
Saint Patrick’s Day is upon us again and for the first time since 2019, we will be able to celebrate it properly.
The coronavirus pandemic means we’ve had a two-year break from our favorite traditions but with restrictions eased, Paddy’s Day 2022 could be the first break of the “new normal”.
There’s even an extra day off to celebrate this year.
It’s been a while since we’ve celebrated Ireland’s day and there are some traditions to revisit – and maybe some new ones to adopt.
Which of these makes your list for the big day?
Wear green
Go to the pub
Dye river green

Dress up like a leprechaun
