Lucinda Creighton has second baby “with a lot less drama”

Former Fine Gael TD Lucinda Creighton has given birth to her second child.

The former leader of social-conservative party Renua Ireland, Lucinda Creighton, has given birth to her second child. The ex-politician turned newspaper columnist took to Instagram this afternoon to share the good news about baby Archie's safe arrival. Sharing a family snap taken at The National Maternity Hospital Holles Street, the proud mum wrote:

"And then there were four… Baby Archie arrived yesterday morning with a lot less drama than his older sister three years ago. He's adorable and a grand size at 8lb 8oz. We are all thrilled and feeling very very blessed."

Ms Creighton, who originally qualified as a barrister married her fellow Fine Gael and Renua colleague, Senator Paul Bradford, in April 2011. The couple are already mum and dad to three-year-old Gwendolyn.
