St Patrick’s Day 2010
The Dan O’Connell Hotel for over 100 years has played host to Melbourne’s biggest St Patrick’s Day festival.
Sadly, this may be its last year.
Despite the festival enjoying the support of Locals, Police and thousands of visitors every year, the director liquor licensing, Sue Maclellan has crippled the hotel with a 10pm license. This reckless and senseless act puts the festival and the pub’s future in jeopardy. Not to mention killing the party just when it hits its stride.
What will happen next year? Perhaps a return to the good old days of the 6 o’clock swill?
This year’s festival was a joyous and well behaved event with no hint of trouble. Hopefully, the powers that be will come to their senses in time for next years event.
