FORMER Limerick hurler Shane Dowling and his wife Paula have announced the birth of their son as they are celebrating one week of the newest addition to their little family - Seán Óg. 

Born on April 13, the little man is already adored by his parents and older brother, who is proudly sporting a Big Brother t-shirt and showering his little brother with love in pictures and videos, which Shane has posted online. 

His big brother Tommy is now almost two and a half years old and the two siblings are sure to be great friends. 

Comments have flooded online with congratulations and messages about how beautiful the little baby boy is. 

The couple were married on December 6, 2024 in the picturesque Hotel Doolin, Clare, following on from their engagement at Adare Manor in December 2022.
