The proud parents of a baby delivered at an Applegreen petrol station have been given free fuel for a year and birthday gifts for their tot.
John Feane and Naomi Galvin got a surprise en route to the Coombe Hospital in Dublin when they realised baby Ellie was in more of a rush than they had thought.
The quick-thinking pair parked at their local Applegreen in Caragh, Co Kildare, and called for an ambulance – which arrived in the nick of time to help deliver the baby girl.
Applegreen regional manager Trevor McBride said: “This is the first time we’ve had an Applegreen baby.
“To help the Feane family celebrate, we’re delighted to offer them a year’s worth of free fuel plus some extra treats and gifts for baby Ellie and her four proud siblings.”
John added: “We now have a great story to tell Ellie when she grows up.”
