‘Oyster Catchers’ nets €3k prize for Cork writer
In between helping to raise two young boys at the family home in Bandon, Co Cork, she pens poetry, works as a freelance journalist, and edits a bimonthly supplement for the Sunday World.
If she tells you she was “very, very lucky” to be the 2014 winner of RTÉ’s Francis MacManus Short Story Competition, that might be stretching things as well — a fictionalised version that belies the hard work and talent that makes a difference.
