Speaking to OK!, Ronan said: “I lost my brother Ciarán last year and that was the turning point in all of our lives. Storm and I probably pushed ourselves and worked a little too hard this year, so now we can back off from work.
“We’re assessing life. It has been a very tough 12 months. July was the anniversary of Ciarán’s death and we all went to Westport to spend time together as a family. It’s been difficult.
“The last time I saw him was at a gala dinner last year. It’s hard to believe.”
Ronan also lost his mum, Marie, in 1998 following her battle with cancer.
Speaking about dealing with grief, Ronan said it doesn’t go away. He said his mum was the “anchor in our family” and they “struggled massively” when she died.
