Landmarks across Ireland to light up for Samaritans' Longest Night event 

Landmarks across Ireland will be lighting up to remind anyone in need that Samaritans will be there for them during their darkest hours.

Landmarks across Ireland will be lighting up tonight for Samaritans’ Longest Night event, with Blackrock Castle and Cork City Hall among those to be illuminated.

December 21 is the longest night of year, with the sun due to set on the Winter Solstice at 4.08pm. The Samaritans are using the date to remind their callers and anyone in need that they will be there for them during their darkest hours, especially on the longest night and over Christmas.
