Taoiseach Micheál Martin has guaranteed “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that Santa Claus will be allowed into Irish airspace to deliver presents.
In his last appearance at Leaders’ Questions as Taoiseach, Mr Martin was asked by Cormac Devlin TD whether all the necessary permissions had been granted for the arrival of Santa.
“I wish to confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Santa will be facilitated in terms of access to Irish airspace,” Mr Martin told Dáil Éireann.
“Our intelligence is that Santa will arrive duly on time for the children of our nation.
“They may rest assured of that; we may not guarantee a lot of other things but we can guarantee that most definitively.”
Deputy Devlin described his query as “a tough one for him on the last Leaders’ Question.”
