To promote Thomas Street and small businesses located on there, Greenflash Pictures created this festive advert. Producer Paul Thompstone spoke about why Greenflash wanted to create this advert “Our reason behind it was to rekindle the interest for people to keep supporting local traders rather than heading out to shop at the bigger chains.”

He went on to speak about the success of the advert stating “We released the video at 6pm yesterday and since then the video has racked up over 16K views on facebook with more than half of the hits coming from the Limerick region.”
