In honour of this, the Clare contingent and the Tulla Pipe Band is expected to lead what is the world’s second-biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade.
Clare County Council is expected to contribute to the costs of sending around 30 band members to New York for the event, while local fundraising efforts are continuing for what chairman Fintan Leamy says is a prestigious honour.
