Dublin City Council has provided approximately 30 Christmas trees which will be switched on in local communities in preparation for the festive season from 26th November until 4th December.

The Lord Mayor said “Local Tree Lighting events are a great way for communities to mark the beginning of the Christmas season. Children love this magical time of year. I would like to congratulate Dublin City Council for organising ceremonies all over the city.”
