Thank you for visiting my site. I'm a storyteller. In person, on film, or in book form, I listen to people's stories, and relate them to others. I research the stories of my people, and bring the relevance of their wisdom into our modern world.
To see what people have said about my stories, here are some excerpts: "Do Mhargadh Déanta, a documentary about the now-dead tradition of arranging marriages.... "A joyous new series, Bibeanna Mheiriceá......built around entertainingly irreverent conversations with women....exhilarating, nostalgic, sometimes moving viewing" (Hilary Fannin, Irish Times.)
"In another generation people won't believe this took place deep into the 20th century. The practise is already gone; the living proof will be too. This documentary will at least act as a fine oral history." (Shane Hegarty, Irish Times.")
