Yipeeee
I am soooooo excited. I am traveling to Ireland next month for 12 days, and while that is good enough I will be spending a weekend with my mom and two nieces to visit where my mom was born ( Clifden, in Co. Galway) and visiting family and attending a wedding. I have just received news that I am thrilled about.
My neice was in a movie set in Dublin filmed two summers ago ( 2006) where she plays Aidan Quinns daughter. It's called 32a and it's not a bus ( that was my first guess :-) it's a bra size, not one I am familiar with, but a bra size nonetheless. It's about a girl coming of age and I was so happy to hear about it but disapointed that I had not had the opportunity to see it!!! And while it opened in the Galway Film Festival last year ( I missed it of course ) I anxiously awaited it's opening here, to no avail.... She plays a girl called Sinead, and her dad Frank is played by Aidan Quinn, she is only 9 years of age. Her name is Madhbh ni Dalaigh (Maeve nee Dah-lig) Maeve Daly in Irish, her parents have brought her up to be bi-lingual and she attends a school in Dublin that teaches all subjects through the Irish language.
I get an email tonight telling me that it is in the Dublin Film Festival on Feb 22nd ( and while I planned to be three hours away in Galway that night) I will NOT miss this....Finally after two years, I will get to see her, my parents who saw it last year said she was BRILLIANT, but you know they could be a little biased?
