A 60ft Christmas tree erected in Derry’s Guildhall square sees the City claim that this is the tallest Christmas tree in Ireland.
The Main Christmas tree is accompanied by three 40ft trees, placed behind the Guildhall facing the River Foyle, in Waterloo Place and in Ebrington Square.
According to the Derry Journal, Joe Cregan, who works with the maintenance and electrical team, says that the tree is the “largest tree of its type across Ireland.”
For all our Save the Planet friends, no need to worry, Derry’s Christmas trees are artificial so will be reused each year. All we’re left to worry about is how to dispose of all that plastic in the years to come.
Meanwhile, Waterford City also claims to have the tallest Christmas tree in Ireland, standing at 50ft, but then again – who’s measuring!
