The film will be screened in Tralee on Tuesday, May 16 at 7pm at Kerry County Museum. It will be screened in Dingle on the same day at An Díseart at 7pm.
It will be shown at St. John’s Theatre Listowel on Wednesday, May 17 at 8pm. In Killarney it will be screened at the Great Southern Hotel on Wednesday, May 17 at 7pm. See trailer below…
