Film festival in honour of Hollywood icon Maureen O’Hara cancelled

The Irish film festival which honours screen icon Maureen O’Hara and hails Hollywood’s golden era has been cancelled at the eleventh hour.

Organisers of what was due to have been just the second Maureen O’Hara Classic Film Festival in West Cork later this month, yesterday said it is not going ahead.

The festival was due to run from June 24 to 29 in Glengarriff, where the screen legend has lived for several years.
