Naas celebrates its links with Wales on St David's Day

Naas Local History Group members have displayed the Welsh flag outside the Town Hall to mark the association between Naas and Wales.

Today is the feast day of St David is the patron saint of Naas parish and of Wales.

The ancient church in the town centre is dedicated to St David and his name also features in other placenames in the town.

Since the 1990s there has been a town twinning in place with the cathedral town of St David's near Fishguard in Wales.

The Naas Local History Group and the Naas Rugby Football Club keep the connection going on the Naas side.
