Gerald Kean
Gerald Kean (born in Cork in 1957〔) is an Irish celebrity〔 solicitor from County Cork. He is regularly the subject of social columns, particularly in the Sunday newspapers which have reported his lavish spending sprees and sun holidays involving his wife and other people, with ''The Irish Times'' once describing him as having a "celestial odour".〔 He has appeared in numerous television shows including ''Prime Time'', ''Tubridy Tonight'', ''The Afternoon Show'', ''The Podge and Rodge Show'', ''The Restaurant'' and ''The Panel'' and on radio shows such as ''The Marian Finucane Show''. Kean competed in the first season of ''Celebrity Bainisteoir'', finishing second to Marty Whelan. He later wrote a book about his experience. The book features several photos of Kean, with the English association footballer Alan Shearer being employed to write the foreword. ==Early life== Kean grew up in Cork following his birth there in 1957.〔 His father was a member of Ireland's police force (Garda Síochána), his now-dead uncle Liam Hamilton was a former chief justice and two other uncles were also members of the legal profession.〔 At twelve years of age Kean moved to County Wicklow.〔 His parents began a bed and breakfast to pay his college fees to attend University College Dublin (UCD).〔 At UCD Kean encountered his wife, Clodagh.〔 He began his first job with the late solicitor Michael Martin on Dublin's Capel Street, earning a starting salary of IR£7,000 per annum, but had left to set up his own practice by the late 1980s.〔 Through his cousin, the late English musician Wally Nightingale, and through acquaintances made in the course of speaking at lunches in England and the United States, he met a number of musicians and informed them of Ireland's tax exemptions for artists.〔 Kean credits this with boosting his fledgling career.
