December 8th: the so-called 'Culchie Shopping Day'
December 8th: the so-called 'Culchie Shopping Day'. The day when people ‘from the country’ came to Dublin to shop, in the days before online shopping. This was crucial to Dublin’s retail calendar, as the traditional shopping day for people from outside the capital who journey to the city. It is also the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
