You can play a part in turning the Eiffel Tower green, white and gold tonight

Pull your finger out

That Eiffel Tower is awfully drab looking today, isn’t it?

What it needs, for one night only, is a healthy injection of craic and you have the power in your fingertips to do so.

Throughout the day, all you have to do is vote for the tricolour to be shone on the iconic Paris monument by using the official Irish hashtag – #IRL – on Twitter and Instagram.

Each night throughout the Euro 2016 tournament, the national colours of a certain nation will be shone on the Eiffel Tower based on which country has received the most votes and what better night than Ireland’s Group E opener against Sweden to see our flag proudly boasted across the French capital?

You can check how the vote is looking by visiting OrangeSponsorsYou.com. At the time of writing Ireland are languishing in fourth spot, behind runaway leaders Spain and our group-mates Italy and Belgium in the standings.
