Robbie, Jamie, Lillie and Johnny Maher make up the younger group and are Carlow's only set of quads since records began.
The foursome made parents Mary and John Maher from Kilnock, Ballon, very proud when they didn't even shed a tear on their first day at Montessori.
When the tiny tots arrived into the world on October 22, 2006 they weighed just over one pound each. Jamie is the smallest known surviving quad in Europe but he's also the "hardiest" of the four.
