I've also worked hard portraying an Ireland which is fast disappearing. Ireland was a very depressed and difficult place in the 1980s, and I've tried to include that in the script. I worked really hard to find the heart of the book. ↗
I've had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like. ↗
