Santa tanks up for grotto arrival

THERE was fierce excitement last week at the Snugabheen Shopping Mall and Hospital, when Santa arrived at his grotto.

Every year, the great man’s mode of transport reflects the year we have had (on the international political front).

For instance, during the fuel crisis, he arrived on a bike, last year in a cardboard mock up of a Ryanair plane (Ryanair has since purchased it as their flagship craft).
