Air Traffic Control at Dublin airport have granted clearance for Santa Claus and eight reindeer to enter Irish airspace tonight.
Santa departed from the North Pole shortly after 10 am this morning and is expected to begin delivering presents across Ireland from midnight.
Due to the speed and height of his sleigh he will look like a fast moving star moving from the west to the south east.
