We have two photographs today of the Fairgreen, both taken in the early sixties. The first is of a cattle fair and the second is of various groups gathering to take part in a St Patrick’s Day parade.

Two hundred years ago, cattle fairs were held regularly at Fairhill in the Claddagh, then later in the century they moved over to Eyre Square where they often spilled over into adjoining streets like Williamsgate Street and Forster Street. They took place in the Square for a long time until they were moved to the Fairgreen.
