Aidan, 51, runs his own plumbing business in Sligo. Viola, 49, loves to swim and has always encouraged her children to take it up. She's very outdoorsy and spends much of her time hiking.

The final was screened a short time on RTE television with the McSharry’s defeating the Hogan family from Wexford.
