A three-day new year's festival gets underway in the capital today.
NYF Dublin will be launched by Tourism Minister Paschal Donohue with a Luminosity light spectacle, using the city architecture as a backdrop.
This will see buildings and areas such as Dublin Castle, Wolfe Tone Square and Trinity College lit up - with 3D projections.

They will be lit from 5pm to midnight over three days from today until January 1st 2015.
The organisers promise a host of family friendly and free events - along with some big name ticketed events.
These include a sold out countdown concert on new year's eve with Kodaline as the main act.
Gar Holohan is the festival director of NYF Dublin. He says it will be a big hit with visitors to the capital.
