Ireland is about to mark the biggest ever Global Greening – as 66 countries prepare to shine their best-loved monuments in emerald light to show solidarity with Ireland on St Patrick’s Day.
While the Irish at home and abroad may not be able to mark the March 17 how they’d envisaged, there will be no shortage of merriment and reminders of global friendships on St Patrick’s Day. An eclectic display of 670 sites will be lit up green for March 17, as part of Tourism Ireland’s global greening event.
Among the more eccentric examples are the Tilted Sauna, also dubbed the ‘Drunken Sauna’ – an abandoned facility, tilted on its side on Tampaja Lake, in southern Finland.
