WATCH: Irish Air Corps rushes to Santa's aid on Christmas Eve

The Irish Air Corps has come to the rescue this Christmas Eve to help Santa deliver gifts to children around Ireland.

The 'magic star' is crucial for Santa to be able to visit every child's home on Christmas Eve, and thankfully the Irish Air Corps was there to answer the big man's call for help. 

This has become a tradition for the Irish Air Corps in recent years, with it now becoming an annual Christmas rescue mission.
