The chaotic scene unfolded as John was frantically trying to reach the Coombe Hospital in Dublin but was forced to pull in just ten minutes into the hour-long journey in Carragh after realising they were not going to make it to the hospital.
To mark an eventful night, Applegreen gifted John and Naomi with free fuel for a year along with some birthday treats for baby Ellie.
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 .
