Portlaoise native was a Debs heartthrob in Laois twenty years ago

Robert Sheehan's famous good looks were there for all to see at an early age in Laois as this picture from 2004 shows so well

The Portlaoise native was the guest of Mary McDermott when she celebrated her Debs in September of that year after completing her Leaving Cert earlier that year in the Mountrath School.

Teenage heartthrob Robert was a student of Ballyfin College at the time. It has since been converted into a luxury five-star hotel for superstars like George Clooney.

The Brigidine Convent and Ballyfin College later merged and moved to a new home which is now called Mountrath Community School.placeholder image
