Live animal crib opens in Dublin
Dublin Lord Mayor Cllr Catherine Byrne and IFA Farm Family chairwoman Mary McGreal officially opened the crib, which has raised over €110,000 for the Lord Mayor’s charity fund over the past decade.
The Live Crib consists of a traditional nativity scene set among live animals in a life-size stable. The animals are brought to the crib every morning and are returned to a farm near Dublin each evening.
It will be open until Friday December 23 from 9am to 6pm. Admission is free. Last year €10,000 was raised for the Lord Mayor’s fuel fund from donations.
