The Irish Air Corps have warned that Santa’s secret service of elves will be passing over Ireland at 5:20pm to make one last check of the naughty or nice list.
Met Éireann has stated that Santa will need to wrap up warmly as there may be snow in some parts of Ireland, and rain is expected in Munster/South Connacht.
