€28m St Patrick’s Global Celebrations - Waste!!!

Tourism Ireland proclaims that their "our ‘greening’ initiative continues this year........" for the 

St. Patrick’s Global Celebrations.

There are many, many other more worthy causes that would benefit much more from an input of 23million euro in Ireland today.

I suspect that St. Patrick's Day Celebrations at home in Ireland will be very muted this year.

The annual visit to the Whitehouse in Washington is by far the greatest opportunity that this country has for exposure on the world stage, but I doubt if it is necessary to look beyond London for celebrations on this side of the Atlantic.
