THERE ARE STILL 11 and a half weeks to Christmas but Santa has already started planning his around-the-world trip.
And he needs some help.
Rathwood in Tullow are looking for 100 elves for seasonal work in its Santa Train experience over the coming months.
And don’t worry if you’re not experienced. A dedicated Elf Academy has been established to give “intensive training” to the successful applicants.
The Santa Train experiences opens in the middle of next month and runs seven days a week until Christmas Eve.
Last year, 35,000 people visited the attraction and 29,500 tickets have already been sold for this year’s event.
“Christmas is always a very special time at Rathwood and this year we have made our Santa’s Train experience extra special adding lots of new surprise features this year” said James Keogh, MD of Rathwood, a family business founded in 1994 which includes retail stores, a garden centre and other amenties.
“We are looking to recruit fun, enthusiastic and outgoing Santa’s Elves to ‘The Elf Academy’ to help Santa and Mrs. Claus meet and greet all the children who will visit. Successful Elf-licants will be trained in the ELF to Z of Christmas magic as they will need to ensure a magical Christmas experience for children, each of whom will receive their own special gift from Santa.
“A number of high calibre Christmas positions will be created for Elf-licants such as Head of Surprises and Head of Christmas Magic, sure to boost Elf-esteem and Christmas spirit at Rathwood. We want dedicated Elves who love the magic of Christmas and are committed to helping families create wonderful Elf-tastic Christmas memories.”

I’m counting at least three UFOs in the picture…
They’re here… and not a moment too soon…
If you have identified them are they still technicaly ufos
I only spotted them, still don’t know what they are; ergo UFOs…
I can only see two ufos and a smudge
I’m certain the smudge is swamp gas tho
Up above the streets and houses
Rainbow flying high
Everyone can see it smiling — over the sky.
Thanks Jazz, now the rainbow theme tune is stuck in my head. Paint the whole world with a RAINBOW
Sorry Bungle.
Quick get the pot of gold
Looks like it’s coming from Berties house.
Some great views from the Ulster bank building all the same.
Buildings
Go jump off one ;)
Keaneland. Thats the custom house building. Not the 4 courts.
Anyone know why some rainbows appear flattened? Is it to do with the shape of the raindrops?
Nice symbolic image for litigious Ireland, there is always a croc of gold to be found in the courts.

First I thought u were talking about the big UFO shaped cloud on the left but then saw the 3 shapes, is it just a blurry pic?
Yes, it really is magical. So magical that even though it was taken on May 23, 2015 (the day the result of Ireland’s Marriage Equality Referendum was announced), not only did it travel all round the world to places as far away as America, where it was seen as proof that Nature and/or ‘god’ approved of the result (see here at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/05/23/1387196/-Best-photo-on-the-Internets-today ), but it somehow also got magically teleported by Time Machine all the way back to The Journal in October 2013. Strange and mysterious indeed are the ways of The Great Joker in the Sky :)
have your say
