You'll definitely have heard the poem before, but not told by this distinctive voice.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny reads a bi-lingual version of 'The Night before Christmas' for a seasonal video made jointly by Fine gael and the charity Console.

Instead of sending Christmas cards this year, the party intends to donate to Console, whose national 24/7 suicide prevention helpline provides free professional counselling, support, advice and information for anyone in suicidal crisis or who has been bereaved by suicide.

Contact Console on freephone 1800 247 247. For more information visit console.ie.
