Senator on standby as midwife votes for Valentine’s Day delivery

A PATTER of little feet is expected at a General Election candidate’s door imminently, but it won’t be his canvassing party.

Senator Michael McCarthy is under orders from his real director of elections — wife Nollagh— to postpone all canvassing for a few days after she gives birth to their second child.

The couple are expecting the new arrival on Valentine’s Day.
