A Green Party councillor has said the move to ban the live crib at the Mansion House is a step forward for animal rights.
Cllr Claire Byrne wrote a statement in conjunction with the National Animal Rights Organisation (NARO) outlining her approval for the highly controversial ban. The representative argued that using animals for entertainment purposes was no longer acceptable and said that the ban was being heavily politicised.
The decision has been slammed by many politicians and members of the public alike. Fine Gael intends to put forward an emergency motion on the issue at next month’s council meeting.
