Full details of the newlyweds’ visit are expected to be announced soon.

“I’ll enjoy all the excitement, I’ll not go to see them but if they come to me, I’d love to get a chat with them.
“I could have a joke with him, he’s that sort of person, I think he could take a bit of slagging.”
Ms Dempsey added: “He’s lovely, it’s a great thing he is coming to Dublin, I think there will be a big turn-out for him and Meghan.
