You realize Tourism Ireland pays for them to do this?

They do?? Seriously?? They are geniuses, what marketing brilliance!! What other country has marketed itself in such a way??

Wow a big well done to Tourism Ireland so.

I did not realise this …… Oh well !
I am not sure if I think that is money well spent or just another BIG let down …
Another big let down is my gut feeling . Here I was thinking and believing that maybe not all was lost and that other countries admire us for who we are . to discover that it is all one big lie wrapped up in a green bow.
Thanks for nothing !
Actually I also think it is a bit embarassing and braggy ,
I know some one who always says ”My son , the Guard , or my daughter the doctor and she has a daughter the teacher . and poor (name changed to protect the innocent) Mary” ,Mary works in a shop …..
Is there no depth this government will sink ? Major disappointed .

Seriously
What is there to brag about ?
I love being Irish , I love my country , but this is false advertising and is buying into the Corporate Ireland . Give me a break ! It is like dev saying about all the maidens dancing at the crossroads . Tripe .

Ireland used to be fun .Not any more.
What ? tell me is so hot about lighting up Niagara Falls Green or the Leaning tower of Pisa Green … It is a pathetic excuse for our government to say ,Hey we are ok when we all know we are NOT > And any one to buy into this Tripe is just as pathetic and for your information I do not want or need you to like me . I pay all my debts and beg for Nothing .

Oh my god…is this you in this video??http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhm7-LEBznk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Shit you not .
ha ha :)
I am neither Blonde nor 12.
I am however very upset to be deceived as we were by tourism Ireland .
I can not abide lies , and I feel we have been lied to enough by this administration . If they had said from the start that this was an advertising campaign then Maybe I might not feel as upset or strongly about it .
I still think your comment to ” find a quiet woods and a rope!! ” is a bit thoughtless .
As Is your comment ” Negative people generally aren’t liked by many as they moan about everything..so next time you reflect on yourself as a person, remember this….no body likes you! NO ONE..end of!”
Both comments are strangely personal and as I know you do not know me I find your comments strange.
I abhor liars . and this is what our government is ….Liars! End oif.

It doesn’t pay for them all. Generally any of the ones “traditionally” done in the US are not paid for. Empire State Building, Hollywood sign etc.

“…& sure isn’t the Statue of liberty herself, green the whole year round, the yanks love us so much… …bedad & begoragh… …That’s my field… …blacks of Europe… …I’ve a cousin in the Bronx… …Good gidel Shadan…”

Be proud of the green, irrespective of wether it’s paid for or not. They’re doing a great job.

I would be more proud if I thought it was not paid for by us !
It just seems cheap that we would pay for this type of advertising .
I understand advertising , I understand the need to promote ourselves
but surely there is a limit ?
I seem to have upet people but I cannot help feel how I feel.
Have a good day !

It’s just a big waterfall

Niagara! Typo has been fixed now Рcheers for the heads up Mair̩ad.

difference is the colour does not change for one day.
