It won’t be a white Christmas in Cork this year, but Santa and the lads will see every possible type of weather tonight as they make their way around the world

The huge toy-drop was the result of a Kinsale & District Lions Club appeal in partnership with CUH Charity.

Conor Murphy from Co Down received an accessible letter designed by sight loss charity RNIB.
