Kilkenny family Down Under rejoice as they welcome baby boy to the world

A new arrival in Australia means good news for a local Kilkenny family.

Tony and Mary Costigan of Cooleshall, an area to the north of Callan, are delighted to announce the arrival of their newest grandchild. The proud parents are their son Ross and his partner Catriona, who currently reside in Perth.

The family welcomed their newest member, Naoise Anthony, into the world, marking a joyous addition to the Costigan clan. He joins his older brother Oscar, making this an extra special time for the growing family.

Naoise, a name with Irish roots, links the newborn to his heritage, keeping his heart close to Ireland as he grows up in western Australia.

As the news spreads throughout Cooleshall, the community joins in the celebration, sharing their best wishes for the family, as messages of love and congratulations pour in from neighbors, colleagues, and friends.
