    It's bad enough that she got herself knocked up after an anonymous one night stand in Coppers without bringing it up 11 years later and shaming the poor child.

    If she was so concerned about finding her baby daddy she could have done it years ago while he was still a baby and wasn't of school going age. I'm sure his mates are gonna give him hell and it will be embarrassing.

    If she is in a stable relationship and kid has a stepdad why rock the boat. Fair enough to check medical history etc but, again, she could have done this years ago.

    Story smacks of attention whoring TBH, she obviously has no shame sharing this story on national radio. Hope she finds him anyway, for the child's sake.

    The child has a right to know who his father is, the father has a right to know he has a son. What they do with the information is up to them.

    At the very least, the son would benefit from a full family medical history.

    So going public and letting her son know that his father is some random guy she had a drunken one night stand with and whose name she doesn't even really know helps her son how? I seriously doubt the guy will come forward and if the son has no medical problems how on earth would a full medical history benefit him? I think you're clutching at straws a bit there. The child is happy and she should have left it at that until her son is 18 and could decide if he wanted to try and trace his father.

    That's even assuming the child actually exists, and that the story isn't completely made up, and the woman on the Ryan Tubridy show isn't just a paid actor. CFJ's know this crap goes viral handy enough as we all get a laugh out of the "poor sod who's lumped with a child he didn't know existed".

    It's the oldest one in the book that appeals to all sorts of people on a number of different levels.

    Wouldn't surprise me. Tubs did a similar story a few years ago with a woman who was supposedly pregnant after a ONS from Coppers. The details of the bloke were vague enough that it could be anyone, a lot like this. AH went mad for that story too.

    She's going to have to tell her son is the result of a ons at some point. If he wants to know who his dad is and she's trying to help him find out, I don't see what the problem is.

    Lots of people have family medical issues they should be aware of. Hard to find an argument against that. Just because he's not ill or aware of any possible issues now doesn't mean he isn't entitled to know.

    You don't know the families reasons for looking for the dad, but since she's his mother and knows her brilliant son the best, we can assume she's acting in his best interests and it's not up to us to second guess their actions.

    Unless, as One Eyed Jack says, it's all a publicity stunt. We shall never know, in all likelihood.

    There isn't a lad on boards who didn't read that with a slight cold sweat breaking out.
    Not called Sean and not from Armagh ... and breath!

    Alot of worried men around the country right now

    Mother launches search for father of her son conceived after night in famous club
    An Irish woman who fell pregnant after meeting a man in Copper Face Jacks more than twelve years ago is seeking the help of the nation to reconnect with the father of her eleven-year-old son.

    The woman wrote an anonymous letter which was read out on 2fm’s Tubridy Show this morning, in which she shared details of her passionate night born from a match made in the Dublin night club.

    “Myself and my friends went out on the Friday night and I met someone in Coppers.


    “We got separated from our friends and went to what I think was the Bewley’s Hotel in Ballsbridge,” the woman wrote.

    The woman, who now has a “brilliant” eleven-year-old son, revealed that she never spoke to the man after their night spent in the hotel, but believes he was from Armagh, is called Sean and once wore an earring.


    “I left the next morning for the match. I didn’t think anything of it. Yes, we had a one night stand and as a result I have a wonderful son,” she wrote.

    “We weren’t too drunk but this happened twelve years ago so I don’t have a great memory of everything.


    “I think this guy’s name was Sean and he was from Armagh and he may have had an earring.

    “I want nothing from him, he has his own life but I just wanted to let him know. We all do stupid things but I have no regrets,” she wrote.


    The woman now has a partner but after wondering about her son’s dad for years she decided to seek the help of popular radio presenter Ryan Tubridy.

    “My son is 11 and he has brilliant stepdad now and everything is great. That night woke me up in life and made me grow up. "Everyone does these kinds of things when they are young and this has been on my mind for years wondering what I could do to find this person without a second name. I thought I would give your show a try.”


    Although Tubridy suggested the campaign might be a fruitless search, he asked any listeners with leads on the father’s whereabouts to get in touch on tubs@rte.ie.

    Sean keep your head down for another 7 years then pop in for a cup of tea

    sean would not be in the clear even when the kid is 18, he may have to provide for college education up to 23 and the child could seek some of seans estate once sean dies if the courts feel sean did not provide for the child during seans life.

    I'd say he'll be easily found. I mean how many Seans from Armagh that are Guards could there be.

    An Irish lad saying he supported City at the time of that game is like saying you saw the Beatles at the Adelphi.

    I thought when I read the story initially that it was a paid actor who had phoned in, but no, it's even worse than that - an 'anonymous letter' with some vague details that we can all speculate about. I don't see how anyone could possibly think with such vague details that a man matching her description could be found.

    It's not as though people actually give complete strangers in a nightclub their real names, do they?

    Sean could well be Saoirse by now living in Sweden :pac:

    I'm sure that guy will be contacting her immediately- I mean, what guy wouldnt want to find out they have an unknown eleven year old kid, whose mother is likely to pursue you for back-dated child support?:D
