Moone Boy returns to Boyle

Moone Boy returned to the town of Boyle in Roscommon yesterday as hometown hero Chris O’Dowd began filming the third series of his sitcom.

The show will return to Sky One next year, continuing the whimsical adventures of schoolboy Martin Moone in the west of Ireland town back in the late 80s.

Yesterday’s activity involved shooting scenes with central cast member Deirdre O’Kane — who plays Martin’s mother — along with David Pearse and Bronagh Gallagher.
