Create solutions for the clues by using the available syllables. A question mark after a clue denotes word play or trickery is afoot. The number of syllables in an answer is followed by the number of letters for each clue. Syllables are used only once.

After all of the numbered clues are correctly answered, their first and last letters, reading down, will reveal a St Patrick's Day benediction.
