Media moguls to a báinín baby: Micheál Martin meets the world in New York on St Patrick's Day 

Four-month-old Séamus Carroll, sporting a traditional báinín (or bawneen) Aran cardigan and hat made his way into the Tánaiste’s arms for a series of photos by his Irish-American mother, Hannah Carrol.

Selfies, babies, Corkonians, and the girlfriend of a media mogul — Tánaiste Micheál Martin’s experience walking in the St Patrick’s Day parade in New York had it all.

Shortly after 11am in the Big Apple, Mr Martin and his entourage joined behind the New York City Police Department (NYPD) band with a sea of green on either side at Fifth Avenue on 44th Street.
