Following controversy over the display of live animals in a Dublin crib, a new location is announced for a 'beloved' Christmas tradition
, the OPW described the attraction as a "firm Christmas tradition and beloved institution for many, young and old".
The original crib outside the Mansion House will proceed as planned but without live animals this year.The Mansion House is the official residence of Dublin's lord mayor, a title which changes hands each year. Some government ministers weighed into the debate, expressing concern that children living in the city were being denied the chance to see farm animals."While the farm animals in the crib have undoubtedly been well looked after, I don't believe a busy and noisy city centre is the right location for them," she said.
"This is not some culture war. It is an attempt to do things differently, to do things better," she told the meeting. She said people "entered what is effectively a shed at one end and passively viewed some farm animals for a few minutes - lately behind a perspex screen, before exiting the other side".
