The Nation’s Favourite building was an easy choice for Santa to set up his secret workshop in. With the 360 views of Limerick from the top floor he can see exactly where he needs to deliver presents to on Christmas Eve, plus the secret space downstairs has plenty of room for boys and girls to help the IRE elves create top class toys and treats.

International Rugby Experience CEO, Barry Hannon, said: “We are hoping to create a new family Santa tradition in the city centre, just like in years gone by. We would like to think we will be the start or finish to a really festive afternoon or evening for families as they stroll around town, doing their shopping, having a bite to eat or just enjoying the beautiful lights and decorations that will be going up.”
