A baby girl born in the Rotunda hospital in Dublin is believed to be the first New Year’s baby in Ireland.

Amelie Rose Mitchell was born by Caesarean section at 35 seconds after midnight, weighing 3.3kg (7lbs 5oz). Her parents are Neil and Catriona Mitchell from Churchtown in Dublin.

The first baby born at the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital (CWIUH) in the New Year arrived at 0.17am.

The boy, who has been named Reece, weighed 2.4kg when he was born to Jennifer Dowman from Jobstown in Dublin.

The second baby born at the hospital was also a baby boy, who arrived at 1.03am.

He weighed 3.89kg and has been named Anthony by his mother Kathleen Sweeney.

New Year's day is always slow for news - the reporters have got to find something to fill a few minutes with...

WindSock

First anything of the year / decade / millenium is a load of balls and just padding for a slow news day.

The parents must have been reading boards last night though as they stole my girl name from the thread :mad:.

I was actually going to post Rose too :pac:

Danbo!

It gets more exciting

The first salmon of the New Year has been caught in the River Liffey.

Declan Briggs from Liffey Park in Lucan hooked an eight pound wild Atlantic spring salmon at Islandbridge.

The fish was caught at 9.45am today, and then released unharmed to continue its journey upriver.

Derek Evans, angling correspondent with the Irish Times, says the honour usually goes to the River Drowes in Donegal.

The parents, probably.

The picture is a little unnerving. She looks like she's cackling incantations before she feasts on the child.

Nice.

She was born by caesarean I heard- isn't that cheating a bit!?

Standard Toaster

That baby has massive hands.

And the baby was born so soon into the new year, this is not good for the the Earth's over population problem.

Someone will have to put their foot down and kill of the surplus masses.

The stories are usually bollocks anyway

Otherwise they would be a flagrant breach of patient confidentiality.

Besides I seriously doubt every maternity hospital in the country has GPS synchronised clocks.

They probably have figured out without our help where babies come from by now.

Just on the Six One news there. Baby still has massive hands. Aul one is not so hot.

Jaysus she looks well just after having a c section... I was out of it for two days after my one...

Aul wan? Are you 15?

Considering she has given birth in the last 24 hours, she is looking pretty good. To quote Larry David: Pretty Good. Prettaaaaay, Prettaaaaay, Pretty Good

Why? Presumably the parents consent to RTE broadcasting the story.

And the fact that we have Europes highest birth rate and NO MONEY

And what if they dont

Do RTE then:

1) Broadcast the story regardless
2) Report the second baby of 2012 as the first (i.e. tell lies)
3) Not carry the story at all ?

A 4th possibility is that in such a scenario, RTE would report that the 1st baby was born in X hospital (and obviously give no identifiers), yet carry the story of the 2nd baby with pictures and the usual interview with the parents. I have a vague memory of that happening in the past.

Id guess that is more likely. With (2) an outside possibility.

But your suggestion that the story is usually bollox is a little off the mark, I would suggest.

As soon as you squeeze one out you're an 'aul wan', whether you're 15 or 35.

Unless the clocks in every materniy hospital across the land are in perfect synchronisation I stand by it.

An aul wan is always considered past her prime in my view. It goes like this...

Hot and young=Yummy Mummy
Starting to age but still got it=MILF

That mother looks like a Yummy Mummy to me.

The news is always so depressing, and think it's nice to have something light hearted on. The birth of a healthy beautiful new baby is a great start to the new year, long may the tradition continue.

I remember on my 3rd pregnancy, after loosing 2 babies, being in one of the Dublin maternity hospitals, I was bleeding really badly and was waiting to be told I had lost a baby again. It was New years Eve and myself and hubby spent five hours waitin to see a doc. We were the only people in the hospital in the waiting area. All the staff were buzzing around at midnight, ringing around all over the country to see who had the first baby of the new year, they were all so excited. At 12.10 that morning I was told my baby was alive. I remember the porters and receptionists given me a hug as it was good news and the hubby nearly passing out with delight.

Slightly off the point but sod you moaners, bet your mammies would have been delighted to show you all off it you were the first baby born in the new year.

I think it's nice to see the first babies of the new year, good news is nice.

The family are good friends of mine. I really am shocked to See some of the comments here. I reckon any one who has posted a negative comment has no child, and doesn't realise the joy birth brings. It was an eventful birth, with an unplanned section. Congratulations to the three of them.

My name is URL

It's an incredible accolade.. That kid must be a genius or some shit

The mother is gorgeous. I like the name Amelie Rose.

"Eventful birth" possibly means she was too long in labour and they don't like that in hospitals, so off she goes for a c section.

Initially what I thought, but it was obviously an emergency if it was done at that time.

By the afternoon, the top story on Today FM new bulletins was about how all the new charges had kicked in since midnight.
What a great wat to start the New Year by the media, let's all wallow in more misery, it not even ****in news since everything was announced since the Budget.

Christ, I hate the media in this country.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Dublin mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Dublin mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

KittyeeTrix

I think it's a lovely idea to see the new babies born on New Years eve....:)
Always makes me smile...

Enough bullish*t as well as doom and gloom going on in the world not to have 5 mins for a happy event in the news...

Congrats to all the New Year parents!

Andy!!

Scary. impose another famine, engrish.. else one day soon I will be recalling how there was still a field!
