Although in all fairness to him, he schhaid notchhing atchh all... Ronan Keating Since the whole backing dancer affair debacle, poor Ronan Keating has stayed tight-lipped and avoided direct contact with the Irish media.

Guess farrell is a real star unlike these bunch of wannabes and has beens so doesnt need a photo of him and a sick kid to get his next gig. Bunch of complete shams fooling no one, they should get more sophisticated advisors and agents! constant – uk January 15, 2011 - 16:32 good man does great work for charity and doesn't seek publicity,many should take what he does on baord,he doesn't have to do it but always hepls,good luck to the whole family now,and good he has remained silent,and come out a happy family again. Marianne – Dublin December 28, 2010 - 10:21 Myself and the fella were in sydney in november all the way from dublin doing the Harbour Bridge Climb. Who walks in, Ronan bleedin keatin and Yvonne......i mean come onnnnnnnnnnnn. They both had shades on. Inside. They were ushered into a VIP lounge and off they went. We couldnt stop laughing. Cringe.... karen – uk December 24, 2010 - 00:34 Jenna, how do you know that Ronan doesn't do this kind of thing anyway, its only because cameras were there that you know about it. He was there because the whole vist is organised by his sister-in-law. Its done every year, and he was lending his support to a great day out for the kids. Its sad that people think that these people were only there for publicity. Judging by the look on Ronan's face publicity is the last thing he wants at the moment. Manannan – Mac Lir December 23, 2010 - 17:05 It's bad enough being seriously ill jemma December 23, 2010 - 14:30 Ronan Keating is a saint. What a kind man. But he should visit the sick kids without the photographers present so that it doesn't come across as being a publicity stunt. Sebastian Longchamps – Hell (formerly known as Dublin) December 23, 2010 - 12:49 Isn't it great of these A list celebs (laugh) to give their time to the sick and needy. I for one don't think any of them did this for their own publicity.......wait a minute, they wouldn't, would they? Oh yes of course they would. Rickster December 23, 2010 - 11:33 Meeting Ronan Keating would put me in hospital. balls – balls December 23, 2010 - 10:10 god if i was a kid there and those people showed up my first thought would be "eh who" i know our ladys is completely reliant on funding so it needs photocalls like the ones above. but the minimum they could have done is put on a sant suit, a few elves costumes or summat like that. I mean what sorta kick is a sick kid gonna get out of ronan keating or katherine lynch saying hello? keet tweet December 22, 2010 - 23:40 negative comment removed...what a joke....is this russia ????? wimps ronankeatingnews.com December 22, 2010 - 18:57 He certainly doesn't have to justify himself to the press. Good on him for making those sick children happy. Keet Tweet December 22, 2010 - 17:45 Comment Removed. karen – UK December 22, 2010 - 17:00 The way the press hounded him and his family virtually forcing them to flee their home I can't say I blame him for not wanting to talk to them at this charitable occasion. He was there for the sick kids, their families and the staff at the hospital, not for the waiting sharks....whoops! I mean media. D. December 22, 2010 - 14:03 Ronan's a good man with a big heart. It is good to see the Irish media finally give him a more positive mentiion again. Rickster December 22, 2010 - 12:53 Who ate all the pies??? Bernard Dunne has by the looks of it. geraldine December 22, 2010 - 12:34 Ronan's hair is so red!!!
