The DUP has complained that St Patrick’s Day in Belfast is ‘turning into St Patrick’s Week’ and will turn away the protestant, unionist and loyalist community from the city centre during celebrations.

At Belfast City Council’s meeting of its City Growth and Regeneration Committee this week, DUP Councillor Tracy Kelly made the comments as elected representatives were updated on plans for this year’s festivities.
