RTÉ Television, RTÉ Radio and RTÉ.ie will ring in the New Year live from the NYE Dublin Countdown Concert in College Green, with headliner Imelda May and Bell X1 featuring at the event. Highlights from the NYE Dublin Festival including the People’s Procession of Light and the Big Bang Fireworks Spectacular will be covered, and special guests will be joining tv and radio presenters. The plan is to showcase the action and convey the atmosphere at the first official gathering of 2013.

NYE Dublin is the first event of the Gathering Ireland 2013, a year-long calendar of Gatherings, special festivals and events organised by the people of Ireland to celebrate all that is great about our country/ancestral homeland.
