Pic: This photo of Grafton Street on Christmas night is a late contender for picture of the year

Grafton Street is rarely empty, but when it sparse of shoppers and everyday commuters it looks absolutely incredible…

This stunning picture was taken by David Costello late on Christmas night and it features what he says were two lone tourists taking in the sights on a frosty night in the capital. The next time we’re away and someone asks us to describe Christmas in Dublin we’re just going to show them this picture… Class.
