Joe Brolly and Laurita Blewitt announce arrival of baby daughter

"It's something that takes you out of yourself and gives you a sense of peace and joy that is hard to communicate with anyone who hasn't had that."

"At one point it got very scary and became an emergency and they couldn't get the baby out. It was a huge collection of doctors and anaesthetists then in the theatre."

"It's as if it never happened. We are very good at putting traumas behind us."

"I think also now because I'm older now and have seen a lot of the world, you are able better to roll with it."
