LIMERICK joint senior football captain Iain Corbett is celebrating
after he became a father for the first time.
The defender, a garda based in Tipperary, welcomed little Dylan into
the world with partner Laura Greaney this week.
"So special they set off fireworks all night for your arrival," Iain
joked on Instagram, in reference to the fact his son was born on
Halloween night, Tuesday, October 31.
He described the baby's mother as "amazing", adding: "We're blessed to
have you."

Four Limerick football finals down for decision this weekend
Alongside joint captain, goalkeeper Donal O'Sullivan, Iain has
skippered the Limerick footballers to two league promotions, a Munster
final, a McGrath Cup title in 2020, as well as a first appearance at
Croke Park in more than a decade last year.
It came after he missed the 2018 campaign as he took part in a tour of
duty of the Lebanon, as he was then a private in the Irish Army.
Many of his county teammates took time out to congratulate him on his
new arrival.
In this number were Colm McSweeney, Josh Ryan, plus former panellists
Danny Neville and Robbie Childs.
Elsewhere, another Limerick footballer has reason to celebrate this
week.
Wedding bells are set to chime for Dromcollogher-Broadford man Cillian
Fahy.
The 27-year-old midfielder, a teacher at Broadford National School,
popped the question to his long-term girlfriend Caoimhe O'Neill.
She said yes in the beautiful, but bracing surrounds of Brandon Point
in Co Kerry!
