St Patricks Day in Dublin brings out all the fancy floats and bands from around the world but every year Paddy Drac shows up dressed as Dracula. I don’t know how many years he has been taking part but every year I’ve been there he has gone up and down the parade route with as much enthusiasm at the end as at the beginning and he always stops and performs for the kids and the growing number of cameras pointed in his direction. He’s also a good point to bring a little colour into this blog.
