Little fighters to light up Christmas celebrations

THE twins who captured the nation’s heart will kick off Cork’s Christmas celebrations on Friday.

Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf, who are just days away from their first birthday, will officially switch on Cork city’s Christmas lights on Friday evening.

They will be the guests of honour, along with their parents, Angie and Azzedine, and their sisters, Iman and Malika, as the Lord Mayor Cllr Michael O’Connell also launches the city’s hugely successful Christmas markets initiative on the Grand Parade.
