MANY congratulations to equine dental technician and amateur event rider Niamh Martin and her husband, Dean O’Hagan, on the birth of son Jack Patrick in Holles Street Hospital, Dublin last Thursday week.

“Both Niamh and Jack are doing great,” said delighted dad, Dean. “Jack weighed in at 8lbs 5oz and he’s as healthy as a wee trout on a spring morning! I’m off work, as construction has shut down, but it’s a blessing in disguise as I get to spend all this stay-at-home time with my very happy wife and our gorgeous wee boy. It’s chef Deano these days while Niamh has a well-deserved rest but I couldn’t be happier!”
