Their father, Barry, played rugby for UCD, while their grandfather, Denis Shaw, represented Leinster in the 1950s, giving the family deep roots in Irish rugby. Sheehan was also selected for the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia, where he scored tries in the first two Tests as the Lions secured the series. His try-scoring record for a hooker is exceptional, with numerous international tries, including hat-tricks and decisive contributions in high-stakes matches.
