River Liffey to be dyed green for Paddy's Day, tourism chiefs say

Tourism chiefs and politicians are planning to dye the River Liffey green for St Patrick's Day next year, to mirror the attraction of Chicago's waterways which are turned an emerald shade every year.

Tourism Ireland CEO, Niall Gibbons, confirmed to the Irish Examiner that efforts are underway to turn Dublin's dividing river green, with help from city plumbing authorities in Chicago.
