Birthday party to toast leap year babies

Not too many 11-year-olds are the first citizen of a European capital, but Dublin currently holds that honour.

Lord mayor of Dublin Andrew Montague turns 11 today and the capital city’s head man is planning to share it with his fellow leap yearlings at a special birthday bash.

“It’s one of those quirky dates to be born. I’m technically the youngest lord mayor and I don’t look a day over 11,” he joked.
