Jedward will be the main attraction at Limerick’s Paddy’s Day parade

You're favourite set of Irish twins will be storming Limerick city as they get set to head Limerick's St. Patrick's festivities on March 17. 

The hyperactive duo, who found fame on the X Factor, were very excited to accept an invitation from Limerick's city and county council to take part in the annual parade. 

"Limerick is a beautiful city, which is full of history and I hope it becomes the European Capital of Culture in 2020," said Edward to the Mirror. 

"I enjoy visiting Limerick because we can reconnect with our relatives and our heritage. It is an exciting, vibrant city with lots to see and do."

The pair actually have family ties to the county as their father hails from the city and played hurling with GAA club Na Piarsaigh. Their grandfather also played a large role in GAA in the area. 

The parade is being coordinated by the local council and no expense is being spared as the city hopes it will help them in their bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2020. 

An estimated 80,000 people are expected to line the streets of the city to enjoy the parade on the day and we reckon they can up their guesstimate with the addition of these two. 

Bring on Thursday.
