270/365: Una Molloy, Birr, Co. Offaly

Una is a music agent, but really she spins loads of plates for her artists. She’s gotten to a stage in her career where she now works exclusively with sounders (like Lisa Hannigan and Paul Noonan). In the last few years she started her own festival, Hibernacle, which has evolved into a beautiful we…

271/365: May Kay, Ventry, Kerry.

I caught up with MayKay just as she was about to host a Palestine fundraiser table quiz in Kerry. Fundraising, activism and advocacy is something she does a lot of these days, often taking her away from her career as a musician, TV host and “panel moderator”. She’s had a busy few 12 months. She rel…

281/365: Pauline Scanlon, Dingle. Co. Kerry

Pauline is a musician, mother, great friend and incredible matchmaker (I speak from experience). We had the chats about what it means to be from Dingle and what it was like growing up without an ounce of anonymity in the town. She currently finds herself researching a new body of work, one which w…

282/365: Paul Scanlon, Dingle, Co. Kerry

Paul is as Kerry as it gets and remembers a time when Dingle was very different to how we find it now. He tells me about how much Dingle has changed, how they once had 40 pubs (McCarthy’s being his favourite) but not a single restaurant. He was 10 before they got electricity and running water at h…

283/365: Ciarán de Buitléar, Stamullen, Co. Meath

Ciarán has always been a bit garden obsessed, he’s always understood the need to know how to grow your own food, the importance of native trees for wildlife, and the joy of beautiful flowering plants. When lockdown came, he found himself quite garden-less. Thanks to the absolute kindness and genero…

285/365: Sabrina O’Reilly, Fatima, Dublin

I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there, in cosy wee homes, who regard Sabrina as a literal angel. She’s worked in various parts of the housing sector throughout her career (even as a mortgage broker) but what she has always dreamed of doing was setting up her own housing charity. After years of…

286/365: Jenny Huston, Dublin City

Precious metals chat anyone? Ever wondered why you should buy literal gold bars? Think that lab grown diamonds are infinitely better for the world than mined? I chatted with jewellery designer (and DJ) Jenny about her range of banging jewellery, Edge Only, and we got nice and nerdy about the ins an…

287/365: Eoin Sanford, Dublin

Eoin started his career on a whim, following a twitter hashtag. He found himself in London working a very fast paced and highly pressurised marketing job. Like most young men, he went for it, without really acknowledging the damage the job was doing to his mental health. His mental health soon affe…

288/365: Gary McKenna, Glaslough, Co Monaghan

Gary is friendly and chatty but I can tell, also a little bit nervous about talking to me today. He welcomed us to his beautiful big home which he recently bought (a huge accomplishment for a single man in his 30s in a housing crisis!). He starts by saying that he’s been approached before to tell …

289/365: Caroline Quinn, Co. Monaghan

You can’t help but feel instantly happy when you visit Caroline’s world in rural Monaghan. She and her husband, Peter, moved back to Monaghan from Dublin 6 years ago when they purchased an old school. They renovated it, and are putting their own unique style all over it. Caroline is optimism perso…
