Shamrock City

Dublin has teamed up with Wasaki Corporation in a land reclamation project that will create a new island in the shape of a shamrock. Not only with there be green lights that will encompass the island making the new formation viewable from space, there will also be a giraffe only zoo adjacent to the business district. It could be for real, or just a nasty proposal and nice video….o Dubai……..
