Toy Show host Patrick Kielty said: "I can’t believe it’s over for another year but I’m still buzzing from a magical Toy Show last Friday night.
"As always that’s down to the amazing kids who knocked it out of the park with their performances, their toy demos and bringing their unique personalities, and to you at home for watching and sharing the love on the night.
"The incredible amount our audience watching at home gave to the Toy Show Appeal this year is mind blowing and the difference it will make to kids and their families up, down and across Ireland is truly humbling.
"Thank you so much for making it a night to remember."
Audiences also showed their generosity in enormous numbers through their donations to the Toy Show Appeal, raising €4.9 million this year.
Children’s charities across Ireland will see the benefit of these funds in the year ahead with the total figure raised since its inception in 2020 now reaching beyond €26 million.
