Diners in the dark: Dublin to switch off for Earth Hour

DINERS at the Four Seasons in Dublin will be digging into their food by candlelight only tonight as the hotel’s restaurant switches off its lights for a major global environmental campaign.

Between 8pm and 9pm the capital will join dozens of cities across the globe taking part in Earth Hour to raise awareness about climate change.

The eatery will be plunged into darkness for the entire evening save for candles on the tables while lighting at numerous city landmarks will also be powered off.
