Have your green gear down Pat..

PAINT the town green this Paddy's Day with some of these patriotic picks.

- BY LARISSA NOLAN

There are 40 shades of green in the shops ahead of the festival, making it the perfect way to celebrate our patron saint.

Whether you want to give a nod to our national colour in the home, or wear it with pride on the street, there's plenty of choice out there.

Penneys has a fun selection for those who want to get into the festival spirit, with Paddy's Day glasses (€3) and Pokemon hoodies (€13).
