IFA’s Live Animal Crib proves a big hit with Dublin visitors

CROWDS have been flocking to the IFA’s Live Animal Crib, located at the forecourt of the Mansion House in Dublin.

The crib, featuring live animals, was launched this week by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr Gerry Breen, and IFA President John Bryan. This is the 16th year of the IFA Live Animal Crib, provided by IFA and Dublin City Council, which to date has raised over €120,000 for the Lord Mayor’s Charity Fund.

John Bryan said: “The IFA Live Animal Crib has become an established part of Christmas in Dublin and had grown in popularity, especially with children. The Crib brings a part of the country into the heart of the city and allows children access to a variety of farm animals, which this year includes a donkey and newborn foal.
