This is insane.
The day the Christmas lights go on on Grafton street is always exciting, it lights up the city and makes Dublin look truly magical. So while some of us plan of heading in over the next few days now that they lights are switched on, a massive amount of people decided to be there for the actual flick of the switch.
And when we say massive, we mean it.

The lights were due to come on at 6pm, but are now going to be switched on closer to 7pm. We hope it’s worth the wait everyone.
