A group of vendors have vowed to picket the Dublin Castle Christmas Market next month as they claim that there was "no proper application process in place" as controversy has emerged over the selection of vendors for the event.
The hugely popular free festive event, 'Christmas at the Castle' takes place in the grounds of Dublin Castle and will run from December 8 to 21 with over 30 traditional alpine market stalls. Tickets for the market went all sale this morning Friday, 11 November via Dublin Castle's website.
However, there has been controversy surrounding the selection of vendors for this year's event. Several vendors have told Dublin Live this week that they were "very disappointed" after their stalls were not brought back for the market's line up this year, despite organisers telling them that the previous year's vendors would be given priority.
