The Irish Consulate in New York has launched a St. Patrick’s Day visual arts project open to all children between the ages of six and 16, with a category for special needs children.   

The project is designed to further the knowledge and understanding of the story of St. Patrick and the cultural significance he has to Ireland, and why St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world and particularly in the U.S.  

With the help of the Irish organizations in the consular area as partners and mentors for participating schools, the consulate feels the project will encourage children to use their imagination and creative flare.

For more information on how children can participate, visit  www.consulateofirelandnewyork.org.  A family pack is available for download.

Nice limerick, Silling. So, you're talking about Mogh's half & Conn's half, and then what, Middle Ireland?
Saint Patrick was a conman, a shyster and a rogue, he almost pulled a fast one on the folks of Tir Na Nog. He tried to sell the locals what he described as weed, but it was grown in a nursery from Greyhound cabbage seed. Then he took it further by ridding the land of snakes, a stunt that did not work so well in the paradise of the rakes. In this land of saints and scholars where nobody mentions thieves, the Shamrock is our provinces and why it has three leaves.
Officials of the "Irish" consulate should also inform these young people of a very important fact: The feast day of Ireland's patron saint had been celebrated in various parts of the U.s. for at least a century before the Irish nation was Partitioned and the Free State established.
