Baby helps Ahern mark smoking ban anniversary

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was joined today by a baby born on the day the smoking ban was introduced, to celebrate the law’s first anniversary with a tree-planting ceremony.

One-year-old John Madigan was presented with a special birthday cake and helped the Taoiseach plant a horse chestnut in St Stephen’s Green, Dublin, to commemorate a year of the Smoke-Free at Work ban.
