A LEADING Irish politician will be the guest of honour at the Macau Canidrome's traditional St Patrick's Night party.
The Minister of the Environment, Michael Smith TD, will join the fun at Asia's only greyhound track which goes unreservedly green on one night of the year.
With four sponsored races, the prizes are worth winning but, since its bubbling inception three years ago, the wining and dining has been almost as important.
Mr Smith will be accompanied by Gabriel McCarrick, of the Irish Trade Board in Hong Kong.
The St Patrick's Night bash will be held on Saturday, March 19 and is the brainchild of former trainer and now racing manager, Brian Murphy.
And Murphy was last week celebrating a promotion at the Canidrome. He now takes on the title of Racing and Executive Marketing Manager.
