Friends of the Irish Environment have put together a little Earth Hour video which they hope to build on. It is at http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=earthhour#p/u/23/g8H6bzj3DDw , where you can see videos of other countries as well.

The video features the Customs House on the River Liffey in Dublin which turned off its lights, and comments from environmentalist Ciara Aucoin, ‘Eco-Eye’s’ Duncan Stewart , and the Minister for the Environment John Gormley.
