Newbridge teacher wins Hennessy writer award for 2004
The 2004 Hennessy New Irish Writer Award, in association with The Sunday Tribune and Four Seasons Hotel Dublin, was presented this evening to Newbridge teacher Terry Donnelly for his First Fiction short story 'Singing Dumb'.
Judges declared Terry 'a real talent' with a sharp eye for the revealing and often humourous detail that can bring a character alive. In 'Singing Dumb', Terry compellingly writes a about what happens when an amiable couple of debt collectors turn up at a suburban house to seize property.
