NORTH Belfast MLA Nichola Mallon has welcomed a new baby girl.

The SDLP politician gave birth at the Mater Hospital in her own constituency early yesterday morning.

Ms Mallon wrote a message on Facebook thanking maternity staff for helping her to deliver "a perfect baby girl" - her second daughter.

"That's 3 to 1 in our house. The hubby hasn't a chance against us girls," she joked.
