The famous Christmas lights will return despite concerns.
Dublin's Christmas lights display will take place this year as per normal.
Soaring energy costs and fears of power cuts had dampened hopes for the lights display.
But Dublin Town, who puts up the lights every festive season, confirmed they'll be on show as normal.
They say they're being powered by 'hydrogenated vegetable oil generators' to combat power cuts.

Reports from The Mirror suggest it costs about half a million euro to erect the lights each year.
They span 5km in length along 25 streets in Dublin city centre.
Some had feared the lights display may be scaled back, as they're linked to the national grid.
This winter, householders are being warned they may have to pay more for energy in peak times.
