Made in Manhattan: Five creative people on how living in New York shaped them

HE connection between Ireland and America is at its strongest in New York, where generations of Irish have lived, worked, visited, and harnessed the energy of the city in their creative endeavours.
The I.NY festival in Limerick this month celebrates the cultural relationship between Ireland and New York, through music, literature, film, theatre, talks, etc. Here, some of the contributors to the project speak about their experiences of New York.
