There’s always a great atmosphere around town on Christmas Eve but it’s worth remembering that most public transport services shut down early.
If you’re doing some last-minute shopping or swinging into any of this pubs to raise one last drink before the big day, you might want to make note of when Dublin Bus, Luas, DART and Bus Éireann services will be finishing up for the evening.
Everything you need to know about public transport on Christmas Eve can be found below…
