St Patrick’s Day celebrations have started early for The Temple Bar Pub, in the heart of Dublin city.

They have erected a 12 ft statue of St Patrick on their building hovering over the tourists below. Already, you can see tourists stopping to take pictures standing below him. It has been gaining negative comments online.

Tom Cleary is the Manager of The Temple Bar Pub and joins Ciara to discuss. Also joining Shane later to give their reaction is Lindsey, a resident of Temple Bar.
