Cork hurling legend Jimmy Barry Murphy to switch on Christmas lights

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Leeside!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Leeside - or at least it will be tonight when former Cork senior hurling manager Jimmy Barry Murphy switches on the Christmas lights on Patrick St.

The annual event marks the start of the festive season in Cork and attracts thousands of people every year. 

Road closures and traffic diversions will be in place from 1 o'clock today with entertainment kicking off at half past six.
