The Office of Public Works yesterday announced that ‘Christmas at the Castle’ will not be returning this year or next due to Government business, and the upcoming EU presidency.

Does this leave a hole in your Christmas calendar, and should we have more of an offering in the city during the festive period? Are we as a capital city lagging behind our European neighbours and even other cities in the country?

And, what are some of the experiences you are looking forward to in the lead up to Christmas?

Andrea is joined by Lisa O’Sullivan Shaw (@modernirishmom on Instagram), Trevor Darmody, Director of Winterval Festival in Waterford and listeners to discuss.
