EU uses lessons from North in peace-building tool kit

ST PATRICK’S day in Brussels is unavoidable.

Everybody around the EU quarter knows exactly what March 17 is, and many come sporting a bit of green, be it a tie or a scarf, or in the case of some a full rig-out.

If you miss the signs during the day, they are unmissable in the evening as every Irish pub in the city – and there are several – is full to overflowing with crowds spilling onto the streets.
