The festive season is in full swing across Dublin 4 as we come ever closer to Christmas!

Santa Claus paid a visit to Sandymount Hotel on December 13 in aid of children’s charity ambulance service Bumbleance, and they also had a spectacular Gingerbread Village on display! St John’s Church held a carol service on December 20, with a collection for homeless charity Focus Ireland. NewsFour’s Ross Waldron was on hand to capture the event:
