Cost of Living: NI Christmas light switch plans unveiled by councils

The majority of Northern Ireland councils have confirmed there are no plans to reduce the hours their Christmas lights are operating this year.

Many explained to Belfast Live that energy-efficient LED lights are to be used where possible, whilst Fermanagh and Omagh council are reviewing their plans following the cancellation of their Halloween fireworks displays due to "financial pressures".

It comes as Dublin Town, the city centre's Business Improvement District which stretches from Parnell Street to St Stephen's Green, said all of their Christmas lights are low energy LED lighting which are regulated by time clocks so the time the lights are illuminated on each street is controlled, reports Dublin Live.
