Crowd gathers for the opening of Dublin's live animal crib

Crowds gathered outside Mansion House today (Wednesday, December 11) as the animal live crib made its annual return at the official launch.

The crib first made its way to the capital in 1995 and has had visitors every year since in a joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Irish Farmers Association (IFA).

IFA president Francie Gorman said that the crib first came as a “gift” from the farmers of Ireland to people in Co. Dublin to appreciate the “support and thanks” received throughout the years.

He said that bringing the animals to the city, helps to “bridge the gap between town and country”, giving people the chance to see live farm animals.
