Dublin's Winter Lights has moved to January, and the haters expect 'Ramadan lights' will follow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IT’S THE MOST wonderful time of the year. You officially have permission to start counting the weeks until Christmas: the annual row over Dublin City Council’s Winter Lights Festival has begun.

IF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN was still shuffling around on this mortal coil in 2026, he might have named three certainties in life: death, taxes and the proliferation of fake celebrity endorsement scams on social media.
