Country Sound: Frank’s granddaughters born 90 minutes apart
Frank McCaffrey is used to making records all his life. But the Westport man was only too delighted to play second fiddle to his daughters Elaine and Triona recently.
GROWING FAMILY Frank McCaffrey and his wife Marie were delighted that their daughters Triona and Elaine both gave birth to daughters within 90 minutes of each other in different corners of the country.

Elaine and Triona made a record of a different kind in recent days. Both gave birth to their first children less than an hour and a half apart.
“Marie and I could not believe it when word came through that our first grandchildren were born so close to each other. I presume it is extremely rare for such a thing to happen,” says Frank.
“The phones were buzzing and it is hard to describe the excitement. Thank God everything went great for them and all are doing fine.

“Elaine had her daughter (Iesult) in Holles Street Hospital in Dublin. She and her husband Eoin Mullowney from Newport live in Dublin. We were thrilled to hear that all had gone so well for them.
“Less than 90 minutes later, another call relayed the good news that Triona’s baby daughter (Aoibh) had arrived safe and sound in Limerick Regional Hospital. Triona is married to Mark Jeffers from Cork and they live in Ballina, Co Tipperary. It was just unbelievable and a complete surprise but the excitement was something else.”
