Alannagh McMullan, who played newborn Georgina Curley has welcomed her second child at the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, Dublin.
Speaking to RTE news, McMullan said when she gave birth to her first child 'The Snapper' was on the television and "then again, this Friday, it was on TV."
Her son, Jamie was born on Sunday night.
The National Maternity Hospital shared a post of McMullan with her new baby and staff. "We had a full circle moment at The National Maternity Hospital in Dublin last night! In 1993 Alannagh McMullan made her acting debut as baby Georgina when Sharon Curley gave birth in Roddy Doyle’s film The Snapper. Fast forward to 2026 and Alannagh has welcomed her own little star with the safe arrival of baby Jamie at the NMH. Congratulations to Alannagh and Ross on their new leading roles as parents to gorgeous baby Jamie," their post read.

McMullan told RTE that she grew up watching her own birth on screen. “I used to have the video [of The Snapper scene] and I used to watch it. I definitely was too young to be watching it, but I’d watch it on repeat, and just replay myself all the time," she said.
She explained that from watching her on screen birth, she notices many resemblances of herself in her baby.
McMullan stated that she plans to show her children the scene of her birth in 'The Snapper', “It’s just a really cool memory to have to see yourself being born, even though it wasn’t real. I think I was covered in Vaseline and food colouring at the time, is what I was told. It's a full-circle moment that I was born in Holles Street and I was the baby in The Snapper and now they've another little baby born by The Snapper,” she said.
