Amy Kirwan: We're like a family at Fair City

The Shape I'm In: "It's challenging for us as actors but we haven't let it cloud our work. I love that there's hope in the air."

Amy Kirwan: 'My mindset is in better shape since lockdown.'

Actress Amy Kirwan is planning a trip to the beach with her three children. Being by the coastline is where the Fair City star, who plays the role of Mairead Casey in the show, feels happiest. The actress was originally born in Australia to Irish parents and didn’t move to Malahide until she was 12 years old.

“I just find the water so calming. We spent a lot of time outdoors and had a pool, which is normal over there, it wasn’t fancy,” she says, laughing.
