DES CAHILL shared a photo from a “special family Christmas dinner” as he revealed an amazing age difference between the youngest and eldest guests.
The RTEstar reunited with his wider family for the festive period.
And in a photo on social media, he revealed that there was a 93 YEAR difference between the eldest and the youngest attendees.
He said: “Definitely a very special family Christmas dinner when there is a 93 year age gap between the youngest and the eldest.”
The stunning photo of said guests drew praise from followers with both Teresa Scanlon and Yvonne Dillon commenting: “Beautiful”.
It has been a busy Christmas for a number of Irish sporting personalities with whom Cahill would be familiar.
Wendy Lowry was ‘head chef’ for the day according to her husband Shane as they celebrated Christmas with their daughters.
The golf ace and his family are primarily based in Jupiter Island, Florida, where Rory McIlroy is just one of several big-name neighbours.
Lowry didn’t indicate where they were for the big day, but based on the street aesthetic and mild-looking skyline we’d hazard a guess they were back home in Ireland for it.
There were similar scenes in Cork, where Jessica O’Mahony quipped ‘everyone’s got a job’ as it was all hands on deck getting preparations under way for Christmas dinner.
This included family members of varying ages making up a ‘spud conveyor belt’ as they got ready for Wednesday’s scrum-ptious main course.
Unfortunately, while her and Peter’s Instagram accounts provide a regular supply of gardening snaps, there was no image of the Munster legend donning an apron or holding back tears while chopping up onions.
But there was at least a cute pic of them and son Theo after the whole family’s work was done for the day and they were able to put their feet up.
Meanwhile, Damien Duff and his Shelbourne players brought Christmas cheer to kids during a visit to Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
The Republic of Ireland legend was joined by a number of his players from the men’s Premier Division winning side.
They were accompanied by members of the Shelbourne women’s squad that won the FAI Cup in 2024.
And rounding out the star-studded cast was Ireland and Leinster rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll.
The club’s Technical Director Luke Byrne posted: “In awe of the brilliant workers we met today on the wards in Temple St.
“Very proud of the club today and hope we brought a small bit of happiness to those amazing children“
His fellow Ireland hero, Katie McCabe, opted for a Christmas abroad as she travelled to Australia with her partner Caitlin Foord.
The Girls in Green shared a loved up set of pics with Foord as they attended a friend’s wedding.
During the festive period, they were guests to the wedding of Emily Van Egmond and Kat Thompson.
McCabe wore a gorgeous green wedding for the occasion, with Foord wearing a red gown.
They were two of a number of top football stars at the ceremony, alongside Alanna Kennedy, Mackenzie Arnold, Sam Kerr, and Kristie Mewis.
