Helicopter winchman meets his special delivery

The helicopter winchman who delivered a baby when the mum was rushed to hospital by air has told his story for the first time.

Kialan Martin Lawlor, at six days old, yesterday met the man who helped him into this world.

Kialan’s mother Siobhan, 37, went into labour at her home on Arranmore Island off Donegal and the new coastguard €40m S-92 Sikorsky helicopter rushed her to Letterkenny General Hospital last Friday. But little Kialan was already on his way during the flight.
