Dublin Airport's control tower is set to be lit up tomorrow and it's all for a good cause.
Monday will mark the longest night of the year as the sun will set on the Winter Solstice at 4:08 pm.
The iconic Dublin landmark will be lighting up for Samaritan's Longest Night event.
The mental healthy charity hope to remind their callers and anyone in need that they will be there for them during their darkest hours, especially on the Longest Night and over Christmas.
The Convention Centre and Heuston Station will also be illuminated as part of the event.
Samaritans volunteer Rory Fitzgerald, Regional Director for Samaritans Ireland, said: “Every Christmas our volunteers in branches across Ireland would mark this date with candlelight walks and carol singing in town centres, which we unfortunately cannot do this year.
“Instead, more than 50 buildings will light up in green to get the message out that we’re there for anyone who needs us tonight and every night of the year, especially throughout Christmas.
“We are urging anyone else who can join us to illuminate their building in green, or light a candle at home, to show others we’re always there.”
Samaritans provide a 24-hour helpline service for people who are in distress, struggling to cope and who are in need of emotional support, including those who are feeling suicidal.
