#Coastguard - The Irish Coast Guard dealt with a lifesaving of a different kind on Friday night (19 July) when one of the crew of the Sligo-based rescue helicopter helped deliver a baby boy.

As TheJournal.ie reports, the delivery happened after the coastguard crew had airlifted a woman in advanced labour from Arranmore off the Donegal coast to Letterkenny.

When she began to give birth in the hospital corridor, Rescue 118 crewman Gary Robertson stepped in to help bring the healthy baby boy into the world.
