Cork actress Síobhán McSweeney is recording Christmas messages for fans - and raising money for charity in the process.

The Aherla native, who shot to fame for her role as Sister Michael in Derry Girls, has joined Cameo (a site that allows users to request personalised video messages for a fee) "for a limited time" ahead of Christmas Day.

The actress, who is also known for her role in the telly adaption of Graham Norton's novel Holding and for presenting The Great Pottery Throw Down, said she gets "so many requests for video messages" so she decided to join the platform for a limited time and raise money for charity in the process.

Hello hello. I get so many requests for video messages that it got me thinking …I’m now on ⁦@BookCameo⁩ for a limited time for your Christmas messages etc. ALL earnings are going to charity. Every single penny. pic.twitter.com/CY9Yv3fALn

So far, the actress has raised close to a grand on the platform.

A number of other Irish celebrities are also using the Cameo platform, which made headlines in October 2021 after British nationalist Nigel Farage used the phrase ‘Up the Ra’ as part of a video message.
