WATCH: People absolutely loved the RTÉ News report about Rudolph in Ireland

Paul Moore

Wonderful, just wonderful.

There have been countless stories, anecdotes and songs about the most famous magical reindeer that helps Santa fly his sleigh, but despite all of these reports, would you believe that some people still don’t believe the legend of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?!?!?

Yep, we know exactly what you’re thinking. These doubters must all be a cotton headed ninny muggins!

RTE journalist Joan O’Sullivan has had enough of these non-believers though because she has definitively proven that Ireland is home to the world’s most famous magical reindeer and that he has spent some time in Kerry, Waterford and Dublin.

Terry Moore, the Deer Keeper of the Phoenix Park, revealed that a magical deer has only recently appeared in the Phoenix Park and that he’s “definitely not one of our deer” because he’s missing a tag.

With the good news that Santa has been granted clearance to visit Irish airspace, it’s clear that every boy and girl in the country will be having a very happy Christmas.

Take a look at the segment itself and some of the wonderful reactions.
