Actually if you read the second article:

The St. Patrick's Festival Committee in Dublin confirmed that next year's parade would be March 17 as usual. In addition, Monday, March 17, will remain an official day off of work in Ireland.
If the Irish are celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and the church even overturned their own doctraine to have the "feast" after Easter, I think we should be celebrating it today, don't you?
