Kids in Ireland better watch out because Santa Claus definitely is coming to town, it has been confirmed.
Much to the delight of thousands of children across Ireland Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney made the announcement about the big man's arrival.
Santa Claus' travels have been deemed as "essential" by the Irish Government ahead of the festive season.
Mr Coveney said: "As Minister for Foreigner Affairs we have been working on the Santa Claus issue for a number of weeks now.
"And it’s important to say to all children in the country that we regard Santa Claus’ travels as essential travel for essential purposes, and therefore, he is exempt from the need to self-quarantine for 14 days, and should be able to come in and out of Irish airspace, and indeed in and out of Irish homes, without having to restrict his movements."
He added: "But I'm assured that children should not stay up at night because he does need to social distance and so people need to keep at least two metres away at all stages to make sure that we keep him safe and indeed the children as well."
