Sin Scéal Eile

I met Richard in a scout den, which made no sense at first but becomes clear once we chat. He’s an academic, a researcher and a geographer. He’s fascinated with holy wells, pilgrimages and how the spaces we inhabit affect us (and how we in turn affect the spaces).

Dan describes himself as having a “cranky” face, but I don’t see it. We had summer evening cans out his back garden in Limerick and he told us all about his career as an air traffic controller, moonlighting as a rugby commentator and the latest book he’s working on. 

His voice is calm and reassuring, exactly what’s needed as an ATC!

Sahar is young, free and very much in love, not just with her boyfriend, but with life, the music scene and Cork! Originally from New Delhi, life in Cork can be quite different at times from what she’s used to, but she’s acclimatising well and her family come to visit. The first thing she did when she moved over was throw herself into the indie scene and snap up Arctic Monkeys tickets, something she’s been dreaming of doing since she was a teenager.

Anna had a revelation later in life thanks to amazing doctors in her local menopause clinic. Her kids were on their way to being raised and she just wasn’t feeling right. She hopped on the HRT and credits that for the freedom she found to follow her dream of becoming an artist. She now makes these beautiful thread creations from her home studio.

Eleanor is a beautiful soul with a huge heart and the best of intentions. Through her work in the trans community in Limerick, she regularly offers peer support to others who are following a similar journey to her own. Eleanor describes Limerick as having a great artistic, queer community that she’s very proud to be a part of. Together we chat about family acceptance, trans healthcare in Ireland (or lack of it) and just living a happy, normal life.

Shane is not what I expected at all. He was nominated by his wife Kate who told me that Shane is an Ultra Cyclist who does 2,500kms with not a bother on him. 

Obviously I turned up expecting to see a man in lycra who wants to chat about bikes. What I got was a man with many thrash metal t-shirts, who told me lots of hilarious stories, like when he was 20mins away from death and how he made friends with the priest who tried (and failed) to give him his last rites. Oh and he has the best laugh I’ve ever heard.

You know the feeling you get when you meet someone who is really sound, but also destined for great things? That’s how I feel about Mary. It’s hard to explain her work (and do it justice). She's an incredibly talented designer who works in textiles, but while also creating her own prints and patterns. She makes gorgeous drawings, the Limerick City one being particularly divine (the mayor even wore it as a waistcoat). Go check her out!

Michelle takes us on a French themed trip around the world, there’s love, heartbreak, excitement, a best friend who knows exactly what to do in every crisis and a bit of murder mystery too. She’s a natural born story teller with a rollercoaster of a life.

Sharon has had a very full life, but not one without its ups and downs. She’s proud of the fact that when she was a very young woman she got “justice” (air quotes added by herself) against her child sexual abuser, but she knows that many others can’t go down that route and may never have the relief that she felt when the verdict came through. 

Now, she cherishes every single day and says ‘yes’ to every invitation, because she knows too well that life can be cut short in an instant.

Amy is a cheery, happy soul. She has recently emigrated to Ireland from the United States after 30 years of choosing it as her preferred holiday destination. She packed in her job and ran away with her savings. She now lives a much slower and much more community centred life, with some whiskey tastings and gigs along the way.
