Well after such a good parade the celebrations got under way in earnest and no place better to be than at O'Shea's Bar in the Commodore Hotel. Traditional Irish band, Liffey Lee, got
into the swing of things straight away and belted out the 'auldies and Irish.' Thecraic was mighty and everyone was in great spirits.
Upstairs in the Jack Doyle Room Irish dance troup, the Cowhie-Ryan dancers, gave a fabulous display of Irish dancing. This troupe has produced many of the dancers for such shows as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. The troupe are a credit to Mrs. Pat Ryan who still does the training and choreography. As it happened Mrs. Ryan celebrated her birthday aswell yesterday. Happy birthday Mrs. Ryan!!!
At 5pm Liffey Lee took a break from the singing and all attention switched to focusing in on the rugby match between England and Ireland. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing!
Liffey Lee kicked up again shortly after and the disappointment
was soon forgotten. Hoorah!!!
The celebrations went on into the wee hours and fair play to Liffey Lee; they didn't let up. They gave it wellie....and so did we!!!
