Farmers get into the Christmas spirit

THE farmers of Ireland have brought a little bit of the countryside into the heart of Dublin for Christmas.

They have done so through an annual lrish Farmers Association live animal crib which has been attracting thousands of visitors at the Mansion House in Dublin for the past 10 days.

Dublin’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Vincent Jackson and IFA Farm Family chairwoman Mary Sherry opened the crib which will remain open to the public until Saturday evening.
