Santa gets a little help for special children

Bord Gáis Energy staff were liaising with the North Pole last night to help Santa Claus make it a Christmas to remember for some very special children.

The Cork-based staff were given expert wrapping and ribbon advice by Santa’s elves as they packed toys and tasty hampers for delivery to up to 50 specially selected families across the city before Christmas Eve.

A spokesman for the North Pole said Santa is just so busy this year that he needed some extra help to ensure everyone on his list got what they asked for.
