Dublin Coddle

THE iconic sites of Petra, Niagara Falls, the Tower of Piza, the Sydney Opera House, the Pyramids — these, and scores of other iconic buildings and monuments across the world, will be illuminated bright green on St Patrick’s Day.

It’s a simple, inspired and fun idea, which immediately focuses attention on Ireland

The global greening is indicative of the relationship our little island has built up with our diaspora, and the new partnerships Ireland has forged around the globe. The world celebrates with the Irish on St Patrick’s Day. It’s a brilliant opportunity for Tourism Ireland to promote Ireland worldwide and to encourage people to study and invest in Ireland, and to showcase Irish companies.
