We started The Seanchaí Collective to amplify the everyday story of everyday people, and we said the first story we would tell would be our own.
Our journey begins today! Next stop London!

As we all celebrate Halloween this year, it’s a good time to mention the Celtic festival of Samhain, which is the root of the holiday we all know today.
Samhain marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter, and where the line between worlds thins 🧡🖤 🎃

Fantastic evening at @IrelandEmbGB at the launch of Aunties in England telling the story of the changing relationship between Britain and Ireland through the stories of emigrant Irish women who travelled to London in the 1960s-1980s

Love this 💚
One of the best articulations of our story and how Fontaines D.C. were inspired to write the first song ‘In ár gcroíthe go deo’ on their album Skinty Fia.

Sad news this morning hearing the passing of Pope Francis, the first Latin American Pontiff aged 88 years. His was a story to be heard and made sure we heard the story of the poor and immigrants.

I miss mum everyday but days like today even more so, can’t believe we found this video this week! A Mother’s love is indeed a blessing 💚
This will be our 7th Mothers Day without mum and this week we found the most precious video of her singing, filmed over 30 years ago.
Margaret sings ‘A mother’s love is a blessing’, a sign maybe, definitely a precious find to let us know she is always with us.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mums 💚
