Abigail Disney on her love of Cork, and speaking out against the company that bears her name
Abigail Disney will be the keynote interviewee at Doc Day at this year’s Cork International Film Festival,
When Abigail Disney’s mother bought a home in west Cork many years ago, it instilled in her a love of the Irish that lasts to this day. She had grown up listening to her mother, Patricia Dailey, regaling dad Roy and the kids with stories of her colourful, fast-talking grandparents. The young Disney was intrigued enough to come here the first opportunity she got, to work as an au pair.
And when her family bought Coolmain Castle near Kilbrittain, it marked the beginning of annual family holidays that she continues with her own family to this day, four decades later.
