“I was told the ambulance coming from Swinford, Co Mayo, would be 50 minutes.
“Peter then got a paramedic on the phone, who was trying to give him instructions, but he couldn’t hear anything in the wind. So I took the phone and held it, while he followed the paramedic’s advice, and the two of us delivered the baby.”

It was the year that Mickey Harte finally landed his dream job, Dublin won six in a row, and Donald Trump lost the presidency.
Trump s America is ending as it began. A sociopath, after all, cannot change his sociospots. Last week, his favourite lawyer, Lin Wood, claimed that the US Supreme Court s Chief Justice John Roberts was a murderer and paedophile. He also tweeted that Jeffrey Epstein is alive! Interestingly, Elvis said exactly the same thing to me when I bumped into him outside Tesco on the Lisburn Road on Friday.
On Wednesday, Trump attacked Georgia s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensberger, tweeting that Brad s brother Ron works for China. So disgusting! When it was pointed out to him that Brad does not have a brother called Ron and he has never been in China, Trump called it fake news . Wouldn t it be nice to be standing behind Trump as a high-dropping ball came into the crowded square?
