Athlone Ambulance Station has important visitor ahead of Christmas Eve

Athlone Ambulance Station had a very important visitor this morning (Monday).

He was delighted to get a full check over before he starts his big journey on Christmas Eve by one of Athlone’s finest Advanced Paramedics, James McCormack.

James advised Santa as flu is doing the rounds, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest before Christmas Eve.

Santa assured James that he received his letter and he won’t be disappointed.

He wants all the children to know that he’ll be entering Irish airspace between 8.30pm and 9pm on Christmas Eve.
