One well-known Killarney family celebrated the baptism of their daughter in St Mary’s Cathedral recently.

ALL SMILES: Fr Kieran O'Brien with the O'Grady family following baby Rosie's christening.

Born on June 3, Rosie O’Grady is the daughter of firefighter Martin Grady and his wife Emma, and younger sister to Amelia and Jack.

She is the 28th grandchild of long-serving local councillor Donal, and Julia Grady.

Fr Kieran O’Brien performed the ceremony, while Martin’s nephew, Cian O’Sullivan and niece Michelle O’Grady stood as godparents.

Plans for Emma’s family, including her other grandparents Joan and Ian Millis who are based in the Bromley area of South East London, to take part in the ceremony were scuppered by travel restrictions.

After the ceremony the family had to operate under current restrictions and just 12 adults enjoyed an after-party at the Killarney Park Hotel.

“We'd a fantastic day,” Martin told the Killarney Advertiser. "It was unfortunate Emma's family couldn't make it over due to the restrictions but we'd a nice small gathering to celebrate Rosie's special day."

Celebrations are underway in Killarney after Centra at The Reeks Gateway on Tralee Road sold a EuroMillions ticket worth €1,005,000 in the Friday, August 21 draw.
