Members of the National Ambulance Service assisted in the delivery of a baby girl at the Applegreen Service Station outside Naas, Co Kildare yesterday evening.
Parents John Feane and Naomi Galvin were returning from a check-up at the Coombe Hospital in Dublin when baby Ellie decided to make her entrance into the world at the service station in Caragh.
Mr Feane said: We got the all clear to go home, went home and on the way we got a flat tyre. I went and got the car fixed pretty quickly, came back and Naomi said you know what John, there s a few movements going on here .
