Live animal crib makes return at new location in Dublin

Dublin’s live animal crib is to return this year but in a new location (PA)

Dublin's live crib will be relocated to St Stephen's Green this year after OPW Minister Patrick O'Donovan intervened to ensure the Christmas tradition is not "thrown under a bus".

Dublin's Lord Mayor and Green Party Councillor Caroline Conroy sparked outrage after she announced that she was cancelling the live crib outside the Mansion House, which had become a beloved institution for many families since it was first installed in 1995.
