Another baby, one by the name of Frankie, was staring up at his mammy, Gillian Duggan from Clonsilla, as she piled clothes high on every available surface of his buggy. âIâm very excited to be back, itâs like a supermarket sweep,â she said.

Even though Frankie came into the world just 10 weeks ago, his mam was full of beans and can-do spirit. âWe have loads of appointments today,â she said. âNext there is Zara and then JD Sports and Bershka and Stradivarius at 2pm. I am really getting the steps in today, thatâs for sure. Iâve missed it, it has been a very hard year so far.â
