Before popping the question Daithi did something that raised a debate afterwards, but he is convinced it is the right thing to do.

"Before I asked Rita to marry me, I went to her father for his permission for her hand in marriage. Some call it old-fashioned, others call it sexist, but the way I see it is being respectful from one man to another. I was thinking this man is my future father in-law! He reacted well, and I definitely believe this is something for all men to consider before proposing and it is advice to these ten bachelors for the future for when they eventually find "the one."”

From weather announcing, to entertaining crowds, to getting down on one knee, nerves never get in the way of O Se. The thought of being stood beside ten hunky bachelors does not intimidate him.

"I have been there before. I know all the tricks of the trade of a bachelor. I am there to have the craic with these lads and to advise them. They should be charismatic and have plenty of life experience. But at the same time, I'm looking for a shower of blaggards!"

The 36-year-old is anticipating his flying visit in New York after being unable to visit at Christmas due to work demands, and is happy to return to the Bronx and Gaelic Park.

"The last time I was in Gaelic Park, I think, it was summer 2003. We were filming about the Aisling Irish Centre. I am familiar with all they work do for the Irish community throughout New York and they really do a great job. I know they have put so much effort into re-launching the Bachelor of the Year event, and it is for a great cause so I was thrilled to be asked to be the host of the night."

He continued, "My visit to New York is going to be short and sweet, but it won't be forgotten. The tux is ironed and ready to rock and roll! I will have a few surprises in store on the night. I'm looking forward to dishing the dirt on these bachelors, so be prepared and best of luck.”

The Aisling Irish Community Center’s fundraiser - the Bachelor of New York - will take place on February 16, at Gaelic Park in the Bronx. Daithi O se will be part of the event as well as music entertainment from the Narrowbacks on the night. A panel of judges consists of: Molly Muldoon - IrishCentral.com; Treasa Goodwin Smyth- Ireland Calls; Denis Mulcahy- Project Children; and Paddy Mc Carthy- Irish Examiner USA. The event is proudly sponsored by Heineken, IrishCentral and the New York GAA. For more information visit the Aisling Irish Center’s website or Facebook page.
