“The live animal crib is a wonderful way to bring a gift from rural Ireland into the heart of the city at Christmas,” he said.
Tradition
“It’s a tradition that speaks to the values we hold dear - family, community and care for animals. For farm families, looking after livestock is a year-round commitment and this crib is a small reminder of that work.”
The Lord Mayor of Dublin added: "The live animal crib is a tradition shaped and sustained by Dubliners themselves, by families who return year after year, by children whose excitement fills the forecourt and by the community spirit that defines our city.”
