Dr Holohan took to Instagram to spread the happy news, posting an endearing snap alongside his soon-to-be wife at Dun Laoghaire, captioning it: "One week to go to our big day -I'm so happy that Ciara and I will spend the rest of our lives together."

He previously opened up about their tight-knit relationship, saying: "She has been very well accepted not just into my own nuclear family if you like, the children, but also the wider families, both Emer's and mine, it has been lovely."
