SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has welcomed his second daughter after his wife Rachael gave birth yesterday.
Mr Eastwood said the couple, who already have a young daughter called Rosa, have named the newborn Maya Olive.
The birth came as the north's parties missed yesterday's 4pm deadline to restore power-sharing and will continue discussions over the weekend.
The Foyle MLA tweeted: "Delighted to announce the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Maya Olive Eastwood. Mum and baby doing great. Did I miss anything today?"
