Formerly famous Irish people who have disappeared from the public eye

Capt. Autumn

Three to start off with...

Bryan McFadden
Erstwhile Westlife crooner who carved a briefly successful solo career, hit the spotlight due to his short-lived marriages to Kerry Katona and Vogue Williams and then for the last few years, very very little...

Sinead Desmond
Lit up our screens first thing in the morning for many years as the bubbly co-host of Ireland AM on the then TV3, went down the legal route in questioning her salary and since then, nada, nothing, zilch,

DJ Carey
Supremely gifted Kilkenny hurler, one of Ireland's most famous sportsmen throughout the '90s, a regular on chat shows, travel programmes and a high profile romance with one of the Dragons in Dragon's Den and since then fading radio silence...

Anyone know what these three are up to and can you add anyone else to the list of formerly famous Irish people who have disappeared from the public eye.

Disappeared from the public eye as opposed to famous is probably the best way describe these 3

Ran. Unsuccessfully. There was all sorts of messing going on with various family members.

DJ Carey is part of the Kilkenny senior hurling management team, before that he was manager of the Carlow IT hurling team. Regularly see him around Kilkenny, by all accounts one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.

Think the tangerine dude was Marcus Sweeney.

Restaurateur I think.

He looked kind of like a Mr Price version of Michael Flatley

Uncharted is right I think. Marcus Sweeney. He married an actor who was in The Clinic. I think.

Fair play to her though, I mean she was proper worldwide famous.
She did her work, got the reward, then got the Hell out of it to chill in a castle.

You're basically asking what became of anyone who ever appeared in the Sunday Independent Magazine.

The answer is, well deserved obscurity.

I hope the Happy Pair and Eoghan McDermott, to name but a few, won't be long after them.

I wouldn’t even call this idiot a z list celebrity. About 15 years ago I had the misfortune of meeting Kieron ducie a few times. I still remember him because he came across as a grade A clown. Disgusting he is still promoting his relationship with katie French to try keep himself in the spotlight considering he was convicted of causing her death by buying her dodgy cocaine and then not calling an ambulance for 6hours.

Reading through his Instagram posts it’s clear that guy is beyond delusional. Most of his posts are lies claiming he is a millionaire. He works for his brother (who he has previously tried to sue) and claims he owns his brothers business, everyone around him laughs at this, to confirm in a recent court case his lawyer said
“ The court was told former haulage worker Ducie was currently unemployed and on social welfare.”

Mary Harney got a make up kit for Christmas and has rebranded as Mary Lou McDonald.

The fat lad went on a diet and goes by the name Barry these days but he's still struggling to get his driving licence updated to the new name.
