A NURSE who became pregnant after a one-night stand with a man she met in Copper Face Jacks has begun a campaign to find the baby's father.

The woman who will only reveal her name as "Roisin" has appealed for the public help in finding the man she met only once at the famous Harcourt Street nightclub frequented by gardai and nurses.

She had a brief encounter with the father of her child at the club in April 2007. And after a night of passion, she never saw him again.

However, soon after discovering she was pregnant, the woman hired private detectives to track down the man, but to no avail.

Now in a final desperate bid to tell the man that he is the father of a beautiful baby girl, she has enlisted the help of Today FM presenter Ray D'Arcy.

In an e-mail to his show, Roisin wrote: "I am trying to find the father of my baby. I met him in a nightclub and had a one-night stand which resulted in pregnancy. My little girl is five-months-old."

Although she only saw the man for a short time, the mother does have a decent description of him and his background.

MORNING

She described the man as being tall, in his mid-20s and from Birmingham but living in Dublin.

He has Irish parents and is a football fan. The morning after the one-night stand he left and said he had to go to football training.

"My intention is to let him know that he has a daughter and to see how things go from there," Roisin said.

The one-night stand took place on either April 20 or 21 last year, which was Friday or Saturday night.

The pair shared a taxi from Copper Face Jacks on Harcourt Street to a house party in Rathmines and spent the night together.

The Ray D'Arcy show has a reputation for trying to solve mysterious love situations. Recently it re-united a man and a women who had met only twice on a Bus Eireann bus.

And on leap day, February 29, Martina Levingstone surprised Gary Cummerford, from Co Wexford, when she went live on the show to seek his hand in marriage. After a nail-biting pause, Gary replied: "Yes."

If you can help identify the Copper Face Jacks dad please call the Herald on 01 7055722.

evidently she never got his first name either cos I'm sure THAT would help a lot.

Only thing is Dublin isn't overpopulated with people from Birmingham... so I'd say there are only about 10 or 20 guys fitting the description who are today going ' :eek: Oh fuck, how do I explain THIS one to the wife?'

I'm so proud to be Irish right now!!!

I, of course, have never been to Slappers

rival.

who's your daddy and what does he do?

WildChildRose

not sure what she expects to get out of this. I'm sure the guy is just going to be thrilled that a 1 night stand created a child. If I were a guy and that happened I wouldn't necessarily be jumping to suddenly be a "daddy."

libragirl

Me neither Jenny. I was telling me housemates this last night and Henry said that he knew a guy in college who, during fresher week, slept with two girls, got them both pregnant and one of them had twins :eek: :eek:

I think she's doing the right thing to be honest. Yeh, it wouldn't be easy and would be very very embarrassing... BUT she's doing the right thing for the kid... hoping that one day when the kid asks who her father is, she won't have to answer 'well he's tall and he played football at the time... but other than that... nope, not even a first name'

but she could also lie and say it was Colin Farrell or something.. someone that the kid will have no chance of meeting... like Heath Ledger for instance... well its better than telling it its dad was some guy from Birmingham? I mean Birmingham.. thats embarrassing enough!!

Umm... yeh Heath Ledger woulda been a good one. I'm sure celebs have kids come up to them quite often claiming to be their kid .

Hmm... if you knew the reputation of copper face jacks, this wouldn't come as much of a surprise... meat market it is... and yet full of nurses, guards and culchies

It's also a major fucking shithole... I've been there 3 times, had my bag robbed twice and the other time there were barrels in the middle of the floor collecting drips coming from the ceilings

I dunno.... it's just genetics... doesn't really make him a father IMO. It's not going to just make him step up and want to be a dad, esp if he wasn't even planning to be one. If it were me and I was the guy, I wouldn't suddenly want to be the dad. Maybe that sounds bad but that's reality.

It's a night club or used to be dont know if its still there, this was over 5 years ago, where sex is easy to find, when I stayed down there I had it described to me as "a cattle market full of slappers who can smell fresh cock a mile off".

Of course it doesn't make him a father... but at least this way he'd have a choice. He's a right to be involved and she's a right to try and MAKE him be a dad.
