St Patrick’s Day is only one sleep away, so it's time to prep your parade plans.

To help with the logistics, The Echo has compiled a list of parades taking place across Cork City and County. 

With the starting time and location, there is no excuse for not getting out in green and celebrating the country's patron saint with the rest of Cork!
