WATCH: Flying home for Christmas to Ireland West Airport to see her grandchildren!

Get the tissues at the ready

On December 21  last year Ireland West Airport closed due to COVID-19 restrictions and thousands of people couldn't make it home for Christmas.

While we know this Christmas won't be a normal one again,  for many like Catherine Forkin, 89, from Manchester, who hasn't seen her grandchildren in Mayo and Galway for almost 2 years, this Christmas will be an extra special one.

Here is a very special video of her journey to spend Christmas with her family. 

Warning: Have the tissues at the ready!
