Irish relative tells of Oasis stars' family rift: 'We're thick as they come'
The Oasis boys have not had any contact with their Gallagher Irish relatives for years, we can reveal. The last time Liam and Noel met or saw their estranged father Tommy's family was at Slane Castle in 2009 - when they invited them all to the monster gig for a mass Gallagher get together. But there will be no such reunion this weekend at Croke Park as the legendary rockers return to their adopted country. Liam and Noel have four uncles, an aunt and about 40 Gallagher cousins living between the village where the Gallaghers came from in Duleek, Co Meath and Drogheda a few miles away. And those family members going to the concerts are paying their own way and not as VIPs. When they were children Liam, Noel and their brother Paul used to come over to Duleek every summer for two weeks to see their granny Annie Gallagher who was the matriarch of the family. They stayed with her in her small cottage and would go around visiting all their aunts and uncles and play with their young army of cousins. Family portrait of the Gallagher family in the mid 1970's (Image: Getty Images) One member of the Gallagher family said: "They were great days, we were all very close then and Tommy and their mother Peggy would be over every year. But when Tommy and Peggy split up, it changed everything. "The boys had no time for their father and I am sure they had their reasons. They then started their own band and the rest as they say is history. "A few of us cousins used to go over and see the Oasis gig and party with them. They put on a great party for us in Slane - it was a very proud day for the family. But we Gallaghers are as thick as they come and regularly fall out with each other. Liam and Noel's mum Peggy is thought to have helped the brothers patch things up (Image: Getty Images) "Our granny died and sadly the lads couldn't make the funeral because they would end up running into Tommy. They loved Annie and she loved them. She was a very kind, wonderful lady. "It is a great shame that Liam and Noel are no longer in touch because when all is said and done they are Gallaghers and we are all very proud of them." Tommy, 77 and his former wife Peggy from Charlestown,Co Mayo divorced in 1986, 39 years ago. He has had little or no contact with his sons since and they do not speak or see each other. The Oasis stars never forgave him for leaving their mother Peggy. She was left to bring them up on her own as teenagers, working three jobs to pay the bills. The Gallagher family member added: "We have not heard or seen Tommy for a long time either. We know he has had one of two health issues, and it would be nice to catch up. "Liam and Noel might not have anything to do with their father or the rest of the wider Gallagher family but we want to make sure Tommy is alright and doing ok. We would like to see him back living in Ireland and reunited with the rest of the family." "The boys only have contact with Peggy's family over in the West and that's it. " Noel said in an interview a few years ago that he does not think that he will ever be reconciled with his father and that " he doesn't mean anything to me." It was Oasis mum Peggy Gallagher who persuaded her two rock stars sons to end their long running feud and reform the brothers stand to make 40 million each from the current tour. The cousin added:' "Gallaghers might have rows but at the end of the day blood is thicker than water and we always make up."

He revealed that he has been watching Princess's ITV2 show Step apart Katie Price's ex Kieran issues public apology to Princess saying walking away from family was the 'hardest thing' KATIE Price's ex Kieran has issued a heartfelt public apology to their daughter Princess - admitting walking away from the family was the 'hardest thing he's had to do.' Kieran Hayler has publicly apologised to his former stepdaughter Princess Andre after she opened up about her unhappy childhood.

On her new ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, Princess recalled watching her mum Katie, 47, go through dark times — heartbreak, drug battles, PTSD, and even a suicide attempt — all triggered by the messy split. She said: "He was in our lives for five years, so we got really close to him, obviously we loved him, he did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything went downhill. "My mum was obviously heartbroken, she didn't deal with that the best way, she went through a very, very dark time which was understandable." Advertisement Now Kieran has admitted he 'regrets' cheating on Katie — with her former best mate Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown. He revealed it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess — whose dad is singer Peter Andre — from the fallout. Leaving the family home where he'd lived with the kids for five years was 'one of the hardest things I ever had to do,' he said, adding he's 'deeply sorry' for letting them down. He said: "It makes me feel so sad. I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Advertisement "I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate's marriage broke down."

He added: "Life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore."

Lucky EuroMillions player shares how summer scorcher led to life-changing win
A lucky Lotto player has revealed how a quick trip to the shops to grab an ice-cream led to them landing a life-changing EuroMillions prize. The Wexford woman bagged the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus jackpot in Friday's (August 8) draw after purchasing the winning ticket from Gala Express in Courtown Harbour, Courtown. The jackpot winner made the trip to National Lottery HQ this week to pick up their prize, where they revealed that they had the recent good weather to thank for their huge win. 'I remember the day well because the sun was shining and all I wanted was a 99 ice-cream cone," the Wexford player recalled. "I bought the Quick Pick ticket not thinking about the possibility of winning.' Speaking about the win, the lucky punter added: 'This is a life-changing prize for me, without any major changes. It's going to provide long-term security, and it's just amazing - I still can't believe it.' The Wexford woman wasn't the only one celebrating a recent life-changing EuroMillions win, as another player from Co Louth made the trip to Lotto HQ to pick up a prize of €500,000 which they won after matching all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw on August 1. The winner, who usually plays their own chosen numbers, shared that on this occasion they were in a rush and opted for a Quick Pick - a decision that proved to be remarkably rewarding. 'I scanned my ticket the following morning and saw the message 'You've won Big!' pop up on screen' they said. 'I rushed to check the winning numbers from the main draw, but none matched. Then I realised I was looking at the wrong draw. When I checked the Plus numbers, they danced off the phone, they all matched!' Still in disbelief, the player sat in the National Lottery's Winners Room awaiting the delivery of their cheque. They plan to use the prize to prepare for their future, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Meanwhile, just weeks after an Irish player claimed a record-breaking €250 million EuroMillions jackpot, Ireland could soon be celebrating another jaw-dropping win as the jackpot for Tuesday's draw rolls towards an estimated €215 million. Players dreaming of becoming Ireland's next multi-millionaire are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app, or at ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time this evening.
