#JWPBlog – Irish symbols under legal protection
Breathtaking scenery, good beer, sheep, leprechauns hiding pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, traditional music and dance – the associations with Ireland can be as numerous as the shades of green in the Irish landscape. During his stay on the Emerald Isle in 1959, American musician Johnny Cash wrote a song called “Forty Shades of Green”, so it is safe to assume that there are at least forty of them 😉. Green is also the colour associated with St Patrick’s Day, the celebration of the patron saint of Ireland, whose death anniversary is lavishly commemorated there every year on March 17.
