Never mind the boys of the NYPD choir — the members of Cork’s famous St Fin Barre's Cathedral choir are taking their uplifting and traditional carol service on a citywide tour by truck.

The truck parked outside the city’s Mercy University Hospital (MUH) yesterday and broadcast the performance via a big screen and special sound projection to staff and patients, many of whom watched from inside their hospital windows.
