New year, new sister

Three bouncing Clare babies arrived into the world on New Year’s Day at the Mid-Western Regional Maternity Hospital in Limerick.

The two baby girls and a baby boy were three of four babies delivered at the maternity hospital on New Year’s day, the first of whom was Ria Minogue born at 7.14am to Nodlaig
and Brian Minogue of Scariff. 
Meanwhile, Yvonne Nagle from Doolin welcomed her baby boy into the world at 11.36am and Ann Reynolds from Ennis welcomed her new baby girl at 11.47am.
The Minogue’s New Year’s Eve celebrations had to be put on hold after their new addition decided to arrive three weeks early. The couple set out for the hospital at 4.30am and baby Ria was born at 7.14am. 
Speaking about the birth of his new baby girl, Brian Minogue said, “we’re delighted to have her home now. It has been a lovely new year’s present for us. There were fierce celebrations here when they heard the news. Ria arrived three weeks early so the new year’s celebrations had to be cut short for a time.”
Ria’s siblings, Tadhg and Seoidín, were delighted to meet their new baby sister when she arrived home earlier this week.
