<p>Christmas lights display with over 550,000 lights . ANY DOUBTS that Christmas is well and truly on the way when Templeglantine man Tony Noonan switched on his famous charity festive lights for 2025. Any doubts that Christmas has well and truly arrived is when Templeglantine’s own Tony Noonan switches on his world-famous charity Christmas lights for 2025. For years now, Tony has been bringing the Christmas spirit to life at his home in Tullig North Templeglantine Limerick , transforming it into a glittering winter wonderland. With a dazzling display of over 550,000 lights — a total that seems to grow bigger every year — Tony’s home becomes a must-see festive attraction for families, friends, and Christmas lovers from across the county. This year, as with every year, Tony has poured his heart and soul into creating a magical experience, carefully decorating his property with thousands of euros worth of lights, which he has collected over time. The result is nothing short of spectacular — an extraordinary blend of twinkling lights, festive scenes, and Christmas cheer that captures the true spirit of Christmas. But this display isn’t just about the lights. It’s about giving back. Tony has long opened his doors to visitors, inviting them to come and enjoy the spectacle for free, all while encouraging donations for local charities. The money raised goes towards supporting those in need within the community, making this display not only a holiday tradition but also a meaningful way to give back during the season of giving.
