A Farreller Krystle Wedding... There's very few things that will drag us out of our well-earned Christmas funk and have our paps wandering the streets with cameras primed a looking for celebs. But last night the rare return of reformed badboy actor Colin Farrell to these shores was just too tantalizing a prize that it dragged us away from yet another cold turkey and stuffing (with mayo) sambo... Colin Farrell & son James Farrell We broke our Christmas vow of celebrity abstinence last night when our avid snap-force ventured as far as Krystle to bang-out a few frames of Colin Farrell and the greater Farreller clan at Eamon Farrell and Steven Mannion's much belated wedding reception. We work harder than Santy. Fact. Steven Mannion, Eamon Farrell For the handsome same-sex couple tied the knot earlier in the year in Canada or some other such far flung place where such things are legal. Is same-sex marriage still illegal here in Catholic Ireland? If so, get off yer arses government types and sort it. And while you're at it legalise abortion, the right to die, and anything else non-secular influenced. It's nearly 2010 for feck sake. Steven Mannion, Eamon Farrell Anyroad, our Colo Farrell flew home for the festive party with his wee US based son James in his protective arms and gave him his first taste of a good aul Irish wedding knees-up in Krystle. Claudine Farrell Colin and Eamon weren't the only branches of the Farrell family tree hanging at the Harcourt Street bash - mother Rita, sisters Claudine & Catherine, and auntie Martina Fox were also prominent peeps at the party. Rita Farrell Other sexy guests we spotted at the Krystle reception included: Morah Ryan, Joanne Byrne, Jim Fitzpatrick, Robbie Fox, Susan Loughnane, Roberta Rowat, Rachel Kavanagh, and many more... Catherine Farrell So there you have it folks, Eamon Farrell and Steven Mannion had their civil union blessed and celebrated by family and friends in Krystle last night... Proper order too, congrats lads. Morah Ryan Hopefully going forward from 2010 we will see gay marriages not just celebrated but actually given equal legal recognition by the Irish State. It's a sad state of affairs that in 2010 our fellow citizens will have to travel abroad to have their basic civil rights respected and recognized.

Go drink your whiskey and disappear idiots. Julianna January 07, 2010 - 14:07 According to several Polish tabloids Colin got engaged as well Jesus – Ireland January 07, 2010 - 13:19 Jesus knows who has been living in sin. Are you ready? Think January 07, 2010 - 09:26 It's so easy to allow ourselves to be judged by others, even though their views often are very flawed. Why do we worry about what a person thinks of us and what we do, when we can see quite clearly that that person isn't happy with him or herself? Why do we put stock in the opinions of those people who don't even know themselves, much less us? Don't we know what's best for us? Then why don't we trust that more than we trust the views of others? equality January 07, 2010 - 08:15 the majority of Irish people support the introduction of equal marriage rights in Ireland. Independent polls conducted show that over 80% of Irish people favour full equality regardless of a person's sexuality (Lansdowne Market Research, October 2008). Equality January 07, 2010 - 08:11 www.marriageequality.ie BANGERS AND CASH – Dublin January 06, 2010 - 16:29 Actually many of us our trying to change it and your logic is as flawed as your sense of humanity and tolerance. The laws are were the work of dirty priests who bugger kids. Your role models! Your suggestion that only heterosexuals can lead "a normal life" is predicated upon what you think is "normal". Your kind will die away one day and make way for humans with open hearts. jodie2 January 06, 2010 - 15:49 Here here @ Jodie. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and while I have nothing against gay people, I do agree that marriage is a sacred vow and should be left to hetrosexuals who actually have a chance to live a normal life and have children. The fact that the union of homosexuals is not allowed in Ireland should show that the majority of people are against it. We live in a democratic society where same sex marriage and abortion are illegal and I don't see anyone rushing to change that anytime soon! laughable 2 – Dublin January 06, 2010 - 11:14 Here Here @ Laughable, there is nothing unnatural about love, and nothing wrong with wanting the same rights as the next person, equality is all the gay community are asking for. Nice of Jodie to take time out of her busy happy life to leave a comment likening same sex marriage to rape murder and robbery... smart girl! Laughable – Dublin January 05, 2010 - 20:22 Actually, Jodie "two guys making out" IS natural. What is "unnatural" is the fear and hatred you have in your heart. Go get some help, please. Jodie January 05, 2010 - 15:31 Have to agree with Sham on this one. Same sex marriage is wrong and hence the reason it is not allowed in this and most other countries. Just like robbery, rape and murder it is illegal and will no doubt remain for a long time. Most girls (and guys) would agree that there is nothing as uncomfortable as watching two guys making out as they often do in public. It's just not natural. Shambuster – Dublin January 05, 2010 - 14:59 Sorry "Sham", but you have just displayed once again how your repressed latent homosexuality has reared its frightened little head again. Go suck some _____ and be happy! Sham January 05, 2010 - 07:03 This marriage is wrong and not recognised in Ireland. It is not only against the laws of the church, but it is against the laws of the country hence the reason they had to run off to some other country to take part in this sham of a union. riddler – Dublin January 04, 2010 - 22:54 Colin Obviously Can Kill Several Upper Class Kings Easily Rory! Blablablaspheme – Dublin January 03, 2010 - 15:58 I was ready Scholar Trinity to slap you with a 25K fine for blasphemy but then I thought about it and I realize there is nothing blasphemous about postulating that Christ may have been a homosexual. I personally don't think he was, but I do believe he would have celebrated Eamon's wedding. ScholarTrinity – Trinity January 03, 2010 - 11:24 It has become widely accepted among scholars that Jesus was homosexual or at the very least, bisexual. In the case of this glorious union between brother Farrell and his mate, the Catholic church should rush to sanctify their union as Jesus very well may have himself! Opus Dei – The Vatican January 02, 2010 - 10:54 Comment Removed on Request. Julianna January 02, 2010 - 02:54 Indeed,Father Ted. I can't believe he stood up in a Catholic church and iniated his son into a religion which doesn't acknowledge and in fact actively fights against his brother's basic human rights and only days after "celebrating" his brother's wedding. A Catholic baptism is a promise to raise your child according to the rules of the church. What a hypocrite... Father Ted – Dublin January 01, 2010 - 18:32 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Baptised him?!?! With Catholics like Colin, who needs Satan??? Libby – Poland January 01, 2010 - 11:53 Colin has just visited Poland to baptize baby Henry, together with Alicia of course :) Elise – Dublin December 29, 2009 - 23:06 Seamus you're a fooking beep! asdf December 29, 2009 - 14:23 Stevy, if you know what is happening, just spill it, okay? If he was the father of Henry, why not take the kid with him to Eamon's celebration? It's kinda important for him to take part in a major Farrell clan celebration. A baptism can wait. Family relationships can't. Caitlin December 29, 2009 - 13:38 Comment Removed on Request. Stevy December 29, 2009 - 12:37 He IS the father and ALL will be revealed really soon ;) Julianna December 29, 2009 - 12:26 This is the point where Stevy usually replies with "All will be revealed really soon..." *LOL* asdf December 29, 2009 - 12:17 Why is Colin the shame of Ireland? So he and Alicja broke up (it seems). He tried to do the right thing for them and it didn't work out. What's the biggie? We don't even know if he is Henry's father. Sunny December 29, 2009 - 12:05 Poland?! Why aren't they in Dublin with Colin? It's their first christmas as a family... Stevy December 29, 2009 - 12:01 Poland with the baby conny December 29, 2009 - 11:59 and where is Alicia? Sunny December 29, 2009 - 11:04 @Rach,Dublin: I know it's hard to believe but Colin's actually the youngest of them all...!! Toaster – Rathmines December 29, 2009 - 08:21 Eamon is the only Farrell pictured worthy of this great nation and it won't even grant gay marriages! The only gay marriages Ireland sanctions are those metaphorical marriages between priests and altar boys. You Stevy, need to check yourself. Stevy December 28, 2009 - 22:20 Toaster you are a dxxk. Seamus – Drogheda December 28, 2009 - 19:43 I should make it clear that I absolutely support gay marriage. Toaster – Rathmines December 28, 2009 - 18:48 Indeed, the Farrells are the shame of the nation. Seamus – Drogheda December 28, 2009 - 18:31 I'm ashamed to be Irish! Rach – dublin December 28, 2009 - 11:47 Steven & Eamonn make a hot couple, fair play to them.... Is Colin older? Either way they both are hotties Model A1 – Dublin December 28, 2009 - 10:19 STILL think eamon is hotter than colin ;) Julianna December 28, 2009 - 09:50 Where's Farrell's girlfriend,is he single again? James has his daddy's charm... Cute!!
