Baby boy for Daithí Ó Sé and wife Rita... after Creedon spots four magpies

It’s four magpies for a boy — and also for joy, as RTÉ’s Daithí Ó Sé became a new dad on St Patrick’s Day.

RTÉ presenter John Creedon had sent Daithí a text yesterday saying he had just seen four magpies in Cork — a sign that he would have a boy.

“He was spot on,” said a delighted Daithí.
