In 2001, St. Patrick's Day was banned in Ireland because of the scare caused by foot and mouth disease.

By robnus 637 Days Agoagain not true, the parade happened a week or two later.- By Anonymous 637 Days Agothis is not true, in 2001 due to foot and mouth disease in cattel, St. Patrick's Day parades were cancelled, not St. Patricks day....it was still a public holiday and we still all went out and got drunk!
- By Anonymous 637 Days AgoThis fact is not really true... The St. Patrick's day PARADE was called off because of foot and mouth. But we still celebrated St. Patrick's day with the usual Irish vigour!
- By ada 637 Days AgoI thought that the holiday originated in Ireland it doesnt make sense.
- By Katie! 637 Days AgoUgh so true! Well not really. Its wasn't banned but a good few of the parades were cancelled. including mine :(
