Varadkar: Special clause for Santa to exempt him from travel restrictions

Dáil heard that Santa, Mrs Claus and the elves are 'flat out'

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar confirmed that North Pole authorities have told the Irish Government that Santa is fully vaccinated.

Santa Claus will be exempt from any travel restrictions, the Tánaiste has confirmed.

Leo Varadkar was asked about the status of Father Christmas by Fianna Fáil TD for Cork South-West Christopher O'Sullivan and confirmed the Government would "leave no stone unturned" in getting the man in red and presents for children to Ireland on the 25th.
