    I'm new to Ballina, and would love to buy a nice 6-7ft tree on 1st December.
    Any suggestions on where to get it?

    Seems to be big differences in the price for trees this year. I got a quote for €50 and €30 in different places.

    They were talking on MidWest radio the other day about this, yes, the trees are the all they're lighting up but they extended them into the mall this year.

    There's a crib coming next week from Armenia, a gift from the twin town in Germany. It will be placed in Market Square.
