Irish Xmas ice skating mania.

10 years ago there was hardly a single ice skating rink in Ireland - now dozens appear each Christmas, e.g. Dublin on Ice in Smithfield Square.

They're good craic, though I always forget that falling on ice is like falling on concrete - hard landings! Plus you come up wet.

It is good to see these rinks around. Would prefer if they were open to the sky tho'. Would be more "New York".
