At a time of global turmoil and great challenge, we look for signs of hope in the everyday.   You’ll want to listen as well as watch this year! 🎵 Our St Patrick’s Day 2026 video features a powerful, international performance of Kodaline’s “High Hopes” that celebrates hope, connection and the global reach of Ireland.   From Argentina to Senegal, and Croatia to Japan, performers from across the globe join singer-songwriter Loah to create a vibrant ensemble of voices.   And this year’s video includes an appearance from a very special guest who carries many Irish hopes and dreams this month! ⚽   To Irish people and friends of Ireland everywhere, we wish you a very happy St Patrick’s Day!   Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh ar fad!   Visit: Ireland.ie/spd
