Members of the Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service came together in north Dublin last night, to help deliver a baby.

It was a joint effort between a Swords ambulance crew and the fire brigade.

The National Ambulance Service say the delivery of the baby happened safely at the premises.

A picture posted on Twitter shows a smiling mom with her newborn, surrounded by the team that helped in the delivery.

It is believed an ambulance arrived at the house shortly before 10.00pm on Sunday night.

Mother and baby are said to be doing well.
