Former Miss World Rosanna Davison opens up about mother's cancer journey
Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has opened up about her mother's cancer diagnosis. The beauty queen revealed her mother Diane was diagnosed with cancer in 2023. Rosanna revealed the devastation her family felt when they were told of her diagnosis but said she is now in remission. She told us: "It was a big shock and a big cry. She's the healthiest person in the world. Really health conscious. It just goes to show it can happen no matter how healthy your lifestyle is. "It takes no prisoners. It can happen to anyone." But the mum-of-three said her mam was able to travel with her dad, singer Chris De Burgh, to Australia on his latest tour. "She's great. She was able to travel with my dad. She's in complete remission now from cancer. "She's absolutely living her best life. Which is amazing to see. She had a rough couple of years. "I think she's just such a great success story. Of a cancer survivor. She fought it early because of a routine check. "I think the message, the reason why I spoke about it, I guess, is because of the importance of routine checks, checking your blood. "I'm trying to keep up to date now. I'm due to go in the next couple of weeks for an annual blood check. "It's just to keep you on top of your health checks, whether it's smears or mammograms or blood tests. Just to keep you on top of your health. "She's someone who caught their cancer early, went through the chemo but is through the other side of it now. Great success story." The Dubliner also told how her 76-year-old famous father is showing no signs of slowing down and retirement is not on the horizon. "He just did a tour of Australia. He kind of kept it low key. He was like 'me and your mum popping off to Australia.' "And then he did the Opera House in Sydney one of the nights. So he did like a six or eight-day tour in two weeks. "I don't know how (he does it). They were getting flights in between from coast to coast. He's 76. "There's no sign of him stopping. "My granny, though, is about to turn 99. So there's something in the genes there," she added.

Dr Quirkey's casino business sees pre-tax profits jump to €8.2m
Pre-tax profits at the Dublin casino business established by Rosanna Davison's late father-in-law increased by 5.5pc last year to €8.22 million. New accounts filed by Dublin Pool and Juke Box Company Ltd show it enjoyed the profit increase as revenues dipped marginally from €12.96 million to €12.72 million in the 12 months to the end of June last year. Advertisement Founding shareholder Richard Quirke died on October 5th, 2024. The directors said Mr Quirke's contribution to the business was 'immeasurable'. The former garda opened Dr Quirkey's Good Time Emporium on Dublin's O'Connell Street in 1976 and the renamed Carlton Entertainment business is today run by Mr Quirke's daughter, Debbie Lawrence. Its flagship outlet is the Carlton Casino, formerly Dr Quirkey's Good Time Emporium. The directors said the principal activity of the company was 'the provision of diverse entertainment offerings' at a number of venues in Dublin. The pre-tax profits last year includes a non-cash €3.99 million gain arising from the reversal of an asset impairment incurred before 2023. Advertisement The profit for 2024 was also boosted by a €979,992 revaluation of a freehold property. The profits for 2024 and 2023 followed €17.79 million in cumulative losses over the preceding four years which coincided with the impact of Covid-19 which shut down the business from March 2020 to August 2021. The losses also coincided with an alleged €2.56 million fraud perpetrated on the business that was first uncovered by Richard Quirke and another director in December 2020. In response to the alleged fraud, the firm hired external forensic consultants and previous accounts filed revealed that 'this led to the identification of unpaid taxation and interest liabilities'.

As a result of the comprehensive investigation led by the external financial consultants, the company implemented an extensive wide ranging programme of governance and operational improvements at all levels within the organisation. The late Mr Quirke had built up a sizeable fortune from his casino business with shareholder funds totalling €29.86 million at the end of last June, with most of the company's wealth concentrated in property with a book value of €28.7 million.
