“Many Irish people who live and work abroad love coming home for Christmas but unfortunately for a lot of them that’s just not possible this year,” said the Lord Mayor. “With this initiative we’re taking Dublin to them, so they can see a little bit of home from wherever they are in the world. In addition, as part of the Winter Lights Festival, Dublin City Council have commissioned a short film of all the festival sites in the City.”

“Dublin City Council is also delighted that for many citizens in Ireland who have been unable to visit Dublin City for reasons due to Covid-19 or otherwise, they too can now view some of the iconic sites in the comfort of their own home over the Christmas period”, said Simon Clarke from Dublin City Council Events.
The campaign features ads across outdoor sites, print, digital, radio and social platforms.
A video, featuring Dubliners and narrated by poet Stephen James Smith with music by Hudson Taylor, is available at: www.dublin.ie/christmas.
Businesses in the city have been particularly hard-hit by the pandemic, let s support them in the lead up to Christmas, said the Lord Mayor of Dublin Hazel Chu. We all have our favourite shops, cafes, restaurants that are as much a part of Dublin as the Liffey. So stay safe, but please do what you can to support businesses during these challenging times. We re all Dubs, and we all have a part to play in safeguarding the future of our city.
