It's a big deal to bring your family on the road, you know? I'd love to do it sometime, but you have to work out schools and all that.

I have three children to take care; I have a wife. My job is to take care of them, and I can say it's a pretty cool job to have.

My wife is my best friend. The thought that people are afraid to go home to their partners for fear of being abused physically or emotionally makes me feel sick. It's not easy but you need to get help and get out.

My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt.

You shouldn't end a band like Westlife and not be financially secure to some extent, but I wasn't at all - it was the complete opposite. But you look at stuff then, 'Well, what do I have? I don't have money but I have a great marriage, three healthy kids, and I have my voice. I'll just start again.'

Yes, it's true, I have bought a helicopter. I really like it. I can't fly it, but I plan to get a licence one day.
