We’re in a hotel in London to talk about Small Things Like These,but Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh are laughing together about a far earlier project. They're poring over pictures from their first ever photoshoot back in 1996, taken by Irish Examinerphotographer Eddie O’Hare on the Grand Parade in Cork.
