School Daze with Seán Misteál from Ros na Rún: 'I was a born messer, a clown'

"My late mother used to say that it was not an accident of birth that I happened to grow up in one of the most beautiful places in the country. We knew it was a blessing."

Seán Misteál plays David on Ros na Rún, Ireland’s only Irish Language and rural-based TV drama.

I went to a very small primary school called Scoil Náisiúnta Naomh Gobnait, Dún Chaoin, which is back near the Slea Head drive. 

It's as far west from Dingle as you can go. It was a tiny school and there was only one classroom. It was a very good experience for me. Our teacher, Mícheál Ó Dubhshláine - who has since sadly passed away - was a very unconventional man.
