St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday, and the Lenten fast, no matter how, specifically, one is observing it, does not apply on Sundays.
If it were on a Friday, abstinence from meat would be expected. However, some Bishops will grant an exception for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
Thank you for the explanation, I did not know that.

More likely the Irish Bishops? ;-)
