Shamrock

From the Irish clubs of Dublin to the Shamrock.



What is the Shamrogue Island Project?

Shamrogue Island is a virtual world sim development project inspired by a real world proposal to create three islands in the middle of Dublin Bay forming the shape of a giant shamrock, connected by a causeway "stem" to the Dublin mainland. Approval for this real world proposal is pending. *coffHOAXcoff*coffPUBLICITYPLOYcoff* In the meantime, approval and funding WERE received to build Shamrogue Island in Second Life.

The Lilly may fade and its leaves decay,
The Rose from its stem may sever,
The Shamrock and Thistle may pass away,
But the Stars will shine forever.
