If it's any consolation Ireland, March 5th is St Piran's Day, St Piran is the Patron saint of Cornwall. Like you Irish, we celebrate our saint's day with pride - as a rule.........Many marches and get togethers here in Cornwall also had to be postponed. I, However do not see it as some anti Cornish cunning plan........ God rest the souls of all the dead livestock! Perish the thought they died to scupper Ireland!
