Don Conroy is a writer, a television presenter, an environmentalist and an artist.

Don studied life drawings and culture at the National College of Art and Deisgn and then worked as a designer and illustrator for advertising agencies. He first appeared on television on the Late Late Show in 1982 and began life on Dempsey's Den in 1986.
Don now lives in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford with his wife, Gay, whom he met during rehearsals of the Playboy of the Western World. They have five children: Sarah, Richie, David, Sophie and Justine.
And these are Don Conroy's musical heirlooms...
