She welcomed her Storm Barra baby at home.
The crazy weather brought by Storm Barra made a trip to the hospital impossible for one Dublin woman, who went into labour on Tuesday night.
Emergency workers from Tallaght Fire Station were called out to the house to help, where they found the expectant mother in labour.
The workers assisted her with the delivery and she safely give birth to a little girl. She has since named her Pria.
The new mum and her daughter are said to be doing well.

Storm Barra wreaked havoc across the country this week, causing schools to close and leaving thousands of homes and businesses without power.

A massive national clean-up operation is now underway.
