The diplomatic offensive has been set up in response to a turbulent first few weeks of Donald Trump's second presidency.

Just one the many celebrations attributed to our Patron Saint will be taking place later this evening.

Although a parade will not go ahead this year in Cavan Town, communities elsewhere in the Breffni county are gearing up to celebrate in a style bigger and better than ever before.

This year's theme for the parade is "Monaghan Folklore".

Tara hopes that by sharing her story, other young women who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis can feel inspired and know that they are not alone.

The trips are to promote the region as a destination to live, work, visit and do business in.

Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr John Paul Feely, arrived in New York yesterday ahead of today's parade in the Big Apple.

A full list of events is available on our website. Enjoy the day!
