Live Animal Crib at the Mansion House

This event has ended

The Mansion House, Wednesday 6th December - Sunday 24th December

The Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste would like to announce the return of the Live Animal Crib at the Mansion House this Christmas.

“Tradition is such an important aspect of Christmas and for many Dubliners, including myself, the Mansion House Live Animal Crib was always a huge part of that. So I am delighted to announce we’re going to have it back again this year. It is always each Lord Mayor’s right to decide what happens at the Mansion House so I respect the decision of my predecessor not to feature the animals last year. However, I’m looking forward to seeing them return for 2023 and watching the smiles on the faces of young and old as they get to see the animals up close once again. I have spoken to the Irish Farmers Association, who for so many years have been a key part of this tradition, and they have confirmed to me that they are also delighted that we are bringing it back for Christmas 2023. I know that the farmers always take great care of the animals and that this year will be no different.”

IFA President Tim Cullinan welcomed the decision to return the Live Animal Crib to the Mansion House. “It symbolises so much about Christmas. We’re delighted the Lord Mayor has invited us back and we look forward to working with him. The Live Animal Crib has been a wonderful tradition in the run-in to Christmas for the people of Dublin, and visitors to the capital.
