The Christmas lights are being put up in Dublin city centre.
The work on installing the lights began last night but they won't be switched on until November.
And so it begins. Here’s what it takes to put the #DublinTown Christmas lights up across #DublinCity. @weareDublinTown pay for and put up the lights to support City Centre business at an important time of year. And this year is more important than ever for recovery! pic.twitter.com/ZdwgVNknEK

Clyde Carroll is from business group DublinTown who are in charge of illuminating the city each year.
He says it's a mammoth task; "It's going to take four crews working through the night seven nights a week to put 150 Christmas crossovers on 30 streets in this city."
DublinTown says this Christmas is more important than ever for recovery.
