Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns has given birth to a baby girl. 

The Cork South-West TD took to Instagram this afternoon to share the happy news. 

"She’s here. We’re completely in love with her," Ms Cairns wrote.

Ms Cairns, Cork's only female TD, announced her pregnancy on Instagram in June, and said it was something herself and her partner, hotelier Barry had wanted for a long time.

“While I’m delighted to share this news now, I was initially hesitant because like so many other couples hoping to start a family, ours has not been a straightforward journey. 

“But all the signs look good for this pregnancy, so we are really hopeful,” she said.
