Irish buildings go green as nation stays at home for St Patrick's Day

As the public is urged to remain indoors to limit the spread of Covid-19, buildings all around the country have gone green to mark St Patrick's Day.

Cork City Hall has a patriotic look

St Patrick's Cathedral is green and glowing

Even the wind turbines are feeling festive

From the top to the bottom of the island, our colours are proudly showing

Our fort went green for the #GlobalGreening #StPatricksDay2020

Closed for now, we, you, us and #Ireland will endure.
Stay safe. #Cobh #Cork #Irish #SaintPatricksDay #StayHome @Corkcoco @pure_cork @corkcitycouncil @NiallGibbons @Failte_Ireland @ancienteastIRL @CorksRedFM pic.twitter.com/H6XuysV7j5
