Polling date could also be father’s day

ANOTHER major canvass is likely to be interrupted by the stork’s arrival and this time it could come on election day.

Simon Coveney, who is predicted to top the poll is Cork South Central, is soon to become a father again.

The outgoing TD’s wife, Ruth, is expecting the couple’s second child very shortly and the deputy said that if she goes into labour early, like her first birth, he’s very likely to be in the maternity suite either just before or on polling day, February 25.
