Plans are afoot to launch Eddie Cantwell and Fionn
Mac Giolla Chuda’s documentary, starring Michael Brennan for the Christmas Market. Eddie has decided to use the income from the sales to advance further research
at Gallows Hill. Plans are at the initial stage at the moment with Eddie
Cantwell and Brian O’Donnell but it would be advisable for those wishing to
purchase a copy to place your order now.
Apart from dealing with St. Joseph’s, the documentary which was produced by Eddie and filmed and edited by Fionn,
also deals with St. Vincent’s which was standing at the time of filming. Michael Brennan, who Eddie says “is the real star of this documentary”, was born
at the Gate Lodge back in the 1930s and his memories of growing up there have
now been recorded for prosperity.
Eddie continued “Michael is clinical,
humorous and displays an almost photographic memory about life there. I hardly
had to ask him a question he just took off with me in tow. Fionn and I spent
some four hours filming and I don’t even want to think about the number of
hours that I sat and watched Fionn edit it with clinical precision”.
