FÁILTE Ireland is supporting the greening of several locations across Limerick city and county throughout March to mark St Patrick’s Day this year.
Local Authorities applied to Fáilte Ireland, as part of a competitive process, for support to assist local St Patrick’s Day festival organisers in the locations identified for this greening project.
The organisers will also benefit from support for marketing content, website improvements and long-term festival development plans.
This activity is in addition to the greening of Heritage sites and State buildings announced this week by the Government in association with the Office of Public Works (OPW) and the St. Patrick’s Festival Organisation.

Sligo has been chosen as one of a small number of destinations to collaborate with Fáilte Ireland on a new St. Patrick s Day Regional Festival Development Programme.
It puts Sligo in a key position to promote its county and tourism potential into the future and also offers an opportunity to create something special for March 17th to lift everyone s mood.
It is hoped this will keep Sligo to the forefront of people s mindx as the place to celebrate St. Patrick s Day when it is safe to travel again.
A successful collaboration between Sligo County Council, Sligo BID and Sligo St. Patrick s Day Committee has resulted in an award of €25,000 to the Council, from Fáilte Ireland, for the development of an exciting programme to take the St. Patrick s Day celebrations to a new level.
