BAFTA-winner Siobhán McSweeney rose to fame as the unforgettable Sister Michael in Derry Girls. A proud child of Aherla, her early years were steeped in Cork’s cultural energy – from theatre to literature, and everything in between. Now based in London, her work continues to carry the humour, heart and the rebel spirt of her roots.
Siobhán says: The River Lee is the perfect base for my mad little cultural weekend. I hope you love Cork as much as I do. Actually no, I hope you love it almost as much as I do. I have to keep some superiority, after all.
