Waterford businesses urged to 'go green' for St Patrick's Day

Organisers have called on local companies to celebrate the four-day festival which has 'historical links' with the city 

Businesses have been asked to consider several ways to get involved in the festivities, including decorating shop fronts and going green for the occasion. 

Waterford Chamber has called on local companies to "go green" for St Patrick's Day, urging business owners to support this year's festival in any way they can. 

The Chamber said Waterford was specifically chosen as "one of the most viable locations" for a St. Patrick's Day Festival given its historical links between the county and the holiday.
