RTE star Daithi O'Se has confirmed that he intends to take time off this summer to spend more quality time with his wife Rita and their son, Ogie.
Daithi married New Jersey Rose, Rita, back in 2012 with the couple welcoming their first child a couple of years later in 2014.
With recent health scares behind him, Daithi is now keen to spend more time than ever before with his young family.

"I've taken lots of weekends off so we can hang out together. I learned over the last three years that life is too short and we need to enjoy it," he said.
"These days I book off blocks of time and weekends here and there and nothing will change that."
"It's so important to have that time because apparently Ógie won’t want to be around us at all when he turns 14 or 15. He will be off with his buddies."
"I've my summer boxed off nicely so that I’ve four or five weeks where I’ve no plans."
"I'm really looking forward to having the downtime and hopefully I’ll get away on a sun holiday somewhere."
Daithi has previously opened up on what makes his marriage to Rita such a success.
Talking with RSVP Live, Dáithí said that being a good listener and being able to balance your time are the keys to a successful marriage.
"You have to listen to each other and you need to have guy time and girl time as well as having time together," he said.
"You need to take it easy with life because you can get really uptight about things even though they might not be a big deal."
