You planning to be in Dublin for Paddy's day?
If so. A little known gem of event that takes place there is the All-Ireland Hurling and Gaelic Football Finals Club finals at Croke Park. It's a big deal sporting wise and given the size of the stadium you can just walk up and get a ticket. Equivalent would be Calder Cup final. Both games would be 2-5 so it wouldn't interfere with your drinking and imo is a better spectacle than the parades (unless that is your thing). Pubs around the stadium are great and will be filled with match goers pre and post game for good fun.
Otherwise, my advice seriously is go another time. March can be a pretty miserable month there weather wise.
