It’s a tale as old as time in Ireland.
Emigration!
And Dave Kearney is the latest person to pack up his bags and move out of Ireland.
He and his wife Becca Mehigan announced that they were jetting off to America for the next chapter of their life.
In May, Dave revealed that he would be kicking off a new sporting leg with the Chicago Hounds.

He finished his 14 years with Leinster over the summer, but he wasn’t resting on his laurels for long!
No, he and Becca shared pictures of them with their luggage before flying to the States this week.
“Let the adventure begin… Chicago and a snowstorm with highs of -16 await!” they captioned the snap.
Brr!
Of course, they brought their beloved dog, Kali, with them. She was in a cage and prepped for her journey across the pond.
“Fragile after this,” Becca wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of her fur baby. “My little baby begins her journey! Keeping telling myself that it will be worth it for her.”
She shared a picture of an Aer Lingus lorry that read, “You’ll love Chicago”, writing: “Thank you for all the well wishes. Saw this the morning we were waiting to board our flight to Portugal for our wedding and thought of it as a little sign from Dad. Love a little sign especially at times of big change.”
We can’t wait to see all their adventures Stateside!
