We may not be able to attend parades as we usually would, that doesn't mean that we won't be able to celebrate our national day of pride.

The St Patrick's Day festival is going virtual this year, and Cork woman Tara Flynn has been announced as the Grand Marshal of all of the craic!

Not only will Tara drive around her gaff in an open top car, she'll also be the host of SPF TV, a dedicated channel to all things Paddy's Day which will offer more than 100 free events from March 12th-17th.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Tara revealed how some of the planned programming made her emotional and why she's still fighting for St Brigid.
