“I’ve always sung in bands, but I’ve always had a manager side of my mind, and I ended up having my own management firm and looking after the Chieftains,” McMahon said.
She said that her father recognized her talent for singing and urged her to join The Chieftains. She ended up touring with them for 15 years. Tiernan and his wife have six children: three from their marriage and three from Tiernan’s prior relationship with Jayme Street.
McMahon stated in an essay for the Irish Examiner that she couldn’t love the guy she married any more than she did and that being married to him made her a better person. She went on to say that the actor was one of the most giving persons she knew, not only with money but also with his time and dedication.
