It's certainly been a busy Christmas for Eamonn and Ruth, with Eamonn sharing regular updates of his festive outings. On a visit to Belfast, Eamonn shared a sweet picture of his brothers, with the heartwarming caption, 'Leonard , Brian , Colm and Conor - My Brothers - Always my best Christmas present. 👏👏👏🎅👍🙏#family.'
