Fr Liam Power joined Damien via phone call to discuss the donkey missing from his crib.

"Our ass is missing," he says when asked about the situation.

The donkey in question is missing from the crib that's outside St Joseph & St Benildus Catholic Church.

It's a life-size figure that Fr Power says cannot be found anywhere.

He is appealing to people who may have any information on the missing ass to get in touch.

The crib was transferred to the church last week, but the donkey wasn't in it.

Fr Power says the church, the Council, Fás, and the Winterval Team have no idea where it is.

"We're missing our ass and we can't locate it," Fr Power said.

He says he does not think it was stolen but that he has "lost his way."
