Calling All Irish Abroad: Send a St. Patrick's Day Message Back Home to be Featured in the RTÉ Parade Coverage

February 24, 2023

St. Patrick’s Day 2023 is fast approaching and we’re once again looking for shoutouts from friends and family all across the world. Simply send us a short "Happy St. Patrick's Day" video message from wherever you are and your video might be featured in the annual St. Patrick’s Festival broadcast on RTÉ television and on social media.

 

If you want to send a message back home, all you need to do is record yourself on a mobile phone, digital camera or any video device in landscape mode (turn your phone sideways!) and send it to us via email at stpatricksfestival@cococontent.ie.

Try to include a backdrop that shows your location in the world! This will help everyone at home in Ireland see where you are – e.g Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House etc.

Getting into the spirit of things by dressing up and wearing something green is always encouraged!

REQUIREMENTS:

-  Try to keep your video duration to within 10 and 15 seconds.

-  Your clip cannot have any association with alcohol.

 

Once you’ve finished your video and are happy with it, you can submit it by emailing it to stpatricksfestival@cococontent.ie.

Or you can WhatsApp your video to us on: +353 894722878

Please note: Any videos (over 20 MB) must be sent viaWeTransfer.  

 

Please take note that by sending us your recording, you consent to your image and everyone included in the video being featured on television and across social media worldwide as part of the St Patrick's Festival celebrations 2023.

 

Example Message: 
"Hello to everyone back home in Ireland, Happy St. Patrick's day from Dubai".
