As they have done in previous years, President Michael D. Higgins and Sabina asked that all non-essential lights in Áras an Uachtaráin will be switched off on Saturday 25 March, from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm, to mark “Earth Hour.”
Earth Hour is a global moment of solidarity for climate action, when more than 350 of the world’s most iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building and the Sydney Opera House – and millions of homes around the world - prepare to switch off their lights.
