    We were planning to go to Dublin to go Christmas shopping in November. Preferably it will be on a Friday.
    We had planned to go on the 25th or the 18th but those dates are out now.
    So it will probably be Friday the 11th.
    We will probably be going to shopping centres Blancherdstown or Dundrum.
    In my experience the shops are generally well stocked. I'm mainly wondering will the Christmas lights/displays be on in the centres?

    That's pretty early, only like a week after Halloween. You might get lucky but I doubt it.

    I know in Cork. Mahon Point are generally done around that time. Mainly because that's when the launch their ice skating.
    I'm not sure about the out of town centres in Dublin. I was in the Jervis centre a few years ago on the 12th and they had there display up.

    Last year the decorations started going up in Blanch the first week of November not all of them went up but it was certainly festive.
