In the early hours of Monday, two male pedestrians were seriously injured after being struck by a car in Letterkenny's town centre. Rushed to Letterkenny University Hospital, the incident prompted the cancellation of the town's St. Patrick's Day Parade. The decision was made by the Letterkenny Chamber, prioritizing public safety after consultations with local authorities. Organizers expressed regret over the cancellation but emphasized their commitment to community safety amidst the unfortunate circumstances, thanking volunteers and sponsors for their support in preparing for the event.
It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of today's St. Patrick's Day Parade following a serious traffic incident that occurred in the town early this morning.
Following consultation with An Garda Síochána and in the interest of public safety, we have made the difficult decision not to proceed with the event.
