The Roman Catholic Church has made a decision to move St Patrick's Day religious celebrations to 15 March next year.
However, parades and other celebrations will continue on 17 March.
The decision to move the feast day was taken after it emerged that the traditional 17 March religious festivities clashed with the second day of Holy Week.
Tourism Ireland says civic celebrations will continue as normal on 17 March.
