        Heard it on 57 Live on RTE Smith is going to some city in the US which apparently has the second largest Patricks day parade (cannot remember the name! ) and the LE Roisin will be there as well.

            She's not goin to Boston.

            Eh, apparantly Roisin's having a quick slap of paint down in Cobh and then heading to Savannah, Georgia.

                  The last parade I remember seeing the Air Corp Pipers in was the Clondalkin one a couple of years ago, it's a bit of a step up for them

                  I was with the party marching behind them, I remember the parade stopping at one point so a piper could leg it into a house to relieve himself. So the kilt has a use after all :D

                    Will someone please figure out once and for all which way Roisin's going, so I can end up in the right city? And are they talking about the weekend before, or after Paddy's Day?

                        Yes, i can confirm that it is in fact Savannah that the LE Roisin is visiting for Paddy's Day. Probably another Enterprise Ireland/Tourism building venture. Should be a great experience for all crew involved. And the DF standard of St. Patrick's Day parties has to be one of the best available.

                          Don't underestimate Savannah, their parade normally attracts 300,000 people and is the largest in the south east.

                            It is possible to get a warship to Chicago. Apparently the US Navy has done it with frigates in the past.

                              Considering the security climate in the US at present,and the fact that Mid March is the most likely date for an attack on Iraq,is it wise for an Irish Warship to be in the US during this time? Is the increased level of security that will be required on this ship a justifiable cost on what is basically a Junket?
                              Showing the Flag in other countries is fine,and a vital task in increasing Irelands international Profile,But Maybe the timing for this visit is inappropriate?
