St Patrick's Day parades have taken place across the length and breadth of the country, as people came together to celebrate Irish culture, heritage and identity, while also honouring Ireland's patron saint.
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Dublin for the national St Patrick's Day parade.
The theme this year was 'Roots', a celebration of the people, places and stories that connect us.
The national parade featured 12 large floats with over 150 artists and 3,000 participants involved.
Over 1,000 gardaí were on duty in the Dublin region over the course of the day.
All eyes were on the Grand Marshal of the parade, with Vogue Williams taking the helm this year.
The Dubliner, one of the best-known Irish faces in the UK, has built a career across broadcasting, fashion and entrepreneurship.
Ms Williams said it was a huge honour to take on the role, which allows her to champion Irish creativity and storytelling on a global stage, and in London where she is based.
Kinlough in Co Leitrim marked a double milestone this St Patrick's Day, hosting the village's first-ever parade - and Ireland's earliest - at midnight.
As the clock struck midnight, Kinlough came alive with tractors, floats and music as the village gathered to mark its first St Patrick's Day parade.
