    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...

    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:

    It gets more exciting

    http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/first-salmon-of-year-caught-in-river-liffey-534228.html
    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 picture is a little unnerving. She looks like she's cackling incantations before she feasts on the child.

    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.

    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 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.

    lol

    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.
