Former Miss Tipperary gets engaged to former Limerick GAA star after romantic proposal
Seamus O'Carroll gets engaged to businesswoman and ladies footballer Kirsty Downey in shadow of Dubai's Jumeirah Burj Al Arab Hotel
A former Limerick county senior footballer has announced his engagement to his long-term partner - a former Miss Tipperary!
A forward, Séamus took the relatively rare step of turning out for a club outside his home county, instead playing forward with Castleknock in Dublin, where he worked as a garda.
He initially played football with his boyhood side Cappagh in Limerick.
A talented hurler, he won an under-21 championship with Limerick in 2011 and was a national title winning handball player.

Seamus left the gardai in 2023, and now works as an inspector for the Health and Safety Authority.
Now back home in Limerick, he plays football with Cappagh and hurling with Croagh-Kilfinny.
During that time, she fundraised for the Children’s Grief Centre in Limerick.
She has had a stellar career in the beauty industry, including a spell as one of the most senior figures at Charlotte Tilbury’s division in the Middle East. She was also an assistant manager at Brown Thomas’ flagship branch in Dublin’s Grafton Street.
She’s the founder and creative director at the Rental Reform, a luxury dress hiring company based in Adare, started in 2023.
