World to go green for St Patrick’s Day

More than 300 stadiums, statues, museums and towers worldwide are set to go green to celebrate St Patrick’s Day next month.

The Space Needle, now recognised as the symbol of Seattle in the US and one of the most recognisable structures in the world, will join the global greening line-up.

And joining Tourism Ireland’s global greening for the first time is Chimo, the polar bear statue in Ontario, a significant roadside attraction in Canada.
