St Patrick's Day usually celebrates all things green, but this year Cork celebrations will focus on red - and not because of its county colours.

The rebel county is incorporating a float of red heads into its Paddy's Day parade in Cork City next month.

It's part of a celebration of our famous hair colour and follows the red head convention which is held in Crosshaven every year.

Photographer Jorg Koster is also getting in on the celebrations and will be photographing participants for a project he's been doing for the last five years.
