Dublin home switches on 16,000 lights for charity - but needs sponsors for electricity bills

A Dublin home is officially ready for Christmas after switching on their fabulous festive lights exhibit yesterday.

David Doyle, from Donnybrook, has been putting on his Christmas lights display for the past 30 years to fundraise for charity. This year, he has lit his home with an incredible 16,000 lights in a bid to raise money for CHI Crumlin.

Every year, David attracts droves of people to his home to admire the lights and leave donations for charity. He usually turns on the lights at the beginning of December, but has now opted to start a month earlier in order to raise as much money as possible for the Children's Hospital.
