Dublin festival to kick-start The Gathering

The Gathering will officially kick-off with a New Year's Eve festival in Dublin city centre tonight.

It will be the first in a year-long calendar of events organised to celebrate Ireland, its people and its connections, both at home and abroad.

Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of the capital for the People's Procession of Light, a fireworks display and a countdown concert in College Green, headlined by Imelda May and Bell X1.

Organisers say journalists from around 70 international broadcast and print media organisations have arrived in Dublin to cover the event.

The festival will be broadcast live from 10pm on RTÉ Radio One, and from 10.30pm on RTÉ One Television and online.

Two fireworks displays will also be held in Dún Laoghaire, Dublin, at 6pm and again at midnight.

In Co Cork, the start of The Gathering will be marked with a New Year's Day 21-gun salute on Spike Island.

Meanwhile, Derry is also marking the start of its year as the UK city of culture, with a fireworks and pyrotechnics show and music events tonight.
