Spiddal 'Lidl Looting' Float Gets the Local People's Vote for St Patrick's Day Highlight

2018-03-17 13

St Patrick’s Day parades took place throughout Ireland on March 17. However, one particular float in the Galway town of Spiddal caught the attention of many.

Inspired by a now-infamous robbery in early March as Storm Emma hit Dublin involving a digger at a Lidl supermarket, Spiddal natives created a little Lidl and mini digger for their float.

A number of participants even pretended to smash open a safe, as happened during the original incident. Credit: Caveman Grub via Storyful
