Christmas Dinner Since 1924

RTÉ News coverage of the 91st Christmas Day Dinner for the poor and homeless of Dublin City (and surrounding areas) organised by the Knights of St. Columbanus at the RDS in Dublin in 2015.

The Christmas Day dinner was originally held at the Mansion House Dublin and has been held every year in Dublin since 1924. For the last number of years the Knights of St. Columbanus have held the Christmas Day Dinner at the RDS, courtesy of the Royal Dublin Society and the Knights of St. Columbanus are very appreciative of this.

The Knights of St. Columbanus provide over 3,500 meals on Christmas Day with 3,000 meals delivered to the needy across Dublin City on Christmas morning as there is no meals on wheels service on Christmas Day. Sadly the number of meals provided has grown year on year.

Special Guests included, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Supreme Knight Barry MacMahon, Lord Mayor of Dublin.

Adrian King, Chair of the Christmas Day Dinner Committee (CDDC) of the Order of the Knights of St. Columbanus says the Knights try to make all our Christmas Day Dinner Guest feel very welcome and valuable part of our community.
