A day yule remember forever, mother

A day yule remember forever, mother

Rachel, 25, and originally from Skibbereen in West Cork but now living in Rosscarbery, gave birth on the roadside in Bandon shortly after 11am on Christmas Day, in the back seat of her father-in-law’s black X type Jaguar and with the aid of two surprised paramedics and a female Garda.

“This is probably the biggest and best Christmas present ever,” she said and she recalled the “dramatic scene” that developed early on Thursday.
