A party atmosphere grips Ireland on St Patrick's Day. Expect pubs to be very busy. Shops close earlier than usual or stay closed, but in urban centres you're likely to find some outlets open. Public transport can be disrupted due to parades and as it’s a public holiday restricted services generally apply.
