Insurance entrepreneur Ciaran Mulligan has been starting businesses all his working life and is about to launch another. The difference this time is that he has a husband Bryan McCormack, a stunning home in Dublin 6 and three beautiful babies

Looking at these photos of Ciaran Mulligan and his husband Bryan McCormack’s home in Dublin 6, certain words spring to mind – stunning, spectacular, luxury, even boutique hotel and above all, pristine. That is all about to change. Those ugly stair gates that pockmark family homes are going to appear everywhere, there will be safety locks on everything and baby mush will be ground into the deep pile of the carpets. Worse, spaghetti sauce will stain the walls and crayon scribbles will no doubt be everywhere.

And nothing will please Ciaran and Bryan more. They have three new adorable babies, currently four months old, and they can’t wait for them to be sitting up, crawling, doing what babies do and in the process, making a mess.
