A Galway city councillor says he has won support for efforts to avoid the “drink-fuelled mess” that the city has become on St Patrick’s Day in recent years.
Councillor Niall McNelis (Labour) has sought a voluntary later opening for off-licence outlets next Saturday to curtail the level of alcohol consumption.
The fact that the parade is taking place an hour earlier than normal, at 11.30am, to facilitate city shopping should ensure that families can enjoy the event, Mr McNelis says.
