Paula Hynes: Proud to be at the cow version of the Rose of Tralee

Minister for agriculture Martin Heydon chatting with Becky and Pete Hynes at the Diagio Baileys Irish Champion Dairy Cow at the Virginia Show.
Last week saw a new addition to the family, we are officially grandparents as our eldest daughter Chloe had a little baby girl named Fiadh and she is so precious. Weighing just over five pounds when she was born, she is a little trooper drinking her bottle every two and a half hours with lots of sleep in between.
I had been taking Chloe into the hospital weekly for scans for some time as Fiadh was a little small and her arrival was also a little early, but health is wealth so it is a joy to see her so healthy. Chloe and her partner Darragh have taken to parenthood like ducks to water, they hadn’t much choice really as the day they arrived home from hospital with Fiadh, myself and Pete had already left for Co Down.
