Ho Ho Ho! We hope you have a lovely Christmas, Castlepollard

Last Sunday, the man in the red suit went to visit a fire station in north Westmeath, where all the kids of the firefighters of Castlepollard Fire Service, had a party to honour the occasion.

These men and women give so much to their community all year and the kids were delighted with the visit and to be able to have a chat with Santa Claus one-to-one.

"Merry Christmas to everyone involved with Castlepollard Fire and Rescue Service!" said Santa and his Head Elf.
