Gabriel Byrne quitting acting...

The women of Ireland will be squirming with delight at the news that Gabriel Byrne is coming home. Gabriel has been telling pals he's thinking of giving up acting, and moving back to Dublin full-time to set up his very own movie production office. Gabriel is no stranger to the world of production ... he has produced lots of films, including Jim Sheridan's blockbuster In the Name of the Father.

After veering from Satan to the priesthood in his last two ventures, he may well be all hellfired and brimstoned out. And after Hollywood Ireland must be refreshingly religion free.

According to the tabloids, the pilot for his upcoming TV sitcom, Madigan Men, was slated by the critics in the States, which almost certainly means it will be a hit. The series follows the trials of single men living in New York, and is being promoted as the male version of Sex in the City.

Byrne ... a single man living in New York ... originally took the part to be nearer his two children, who live there with ex-wife Ellen Barkin and her new husband Ron Perelman. He had been based in LA, and apparently isn't too keen on the Big Apple.

Last year the local boy put down roots in Baggot Street in Dublin near actor John Hurt. Byrne bought a big house that his kids absolutely love, and that's where he'll be living when he returns.

In the meantime, he's been spending a lot of time in Ireland lately, bringing his son and daughter to visit his mother in Galway for two weeks this month and thrilling fans by bringing George Clooney out to play at the Galway Races.

Before Christmas, it was Arnie Schwarzenegger who was Gabriel's Galway buddy. Which I thought was particularly apposite - since True Lies are what we Irish specialise in.
