Taoiseach grants Santa permission to enter Irish airspace on Christmas Eve
There had been concern that Christmas could be delayed this year due to key ports being damaged during Storm Darragh.
Harris signed the authorisation document in Leister House yesterday, in one of the first acts of the 34th Dáil.
It is understood that Santa's workshop has received all the parts needed to make a toy for every child in Ireland.
However, the Taoiseach said that, as usual, Santa will be working off the Naughty and Nice list - and he will be checking it twice.
