A Christmas fair in aid of St Vincent de Paul is taking place at the Bank of Ireland College Green in Dublin.

Members of the public are also being asked to bring gifts for a giving tree - with all donations being delivered to the SVP today.

Festive and family activities at the market include face painting, a giant snowglobe and of course Santa and his elves.

The event is running until 6pm this evening.

Audrey Nolan is head of corporate social responsibility at Bank of Ireland, and explains what is happening at the fair:
