Cork publicans are coming together to organise a special fundraiser for St Vincent de Paul in the run-up to Christmas with the aim of collecting at least €50,000. 

The VFI has said that 50 of its members in the city will get staff to dress up as Santa for the special collection which will start on Friday, December 5.

Each bar aims to raise €1,000 with bucket collections which will continue over 12 nights until Tuesday, December 23.
