Mike O’Shea’s line of work has taken him to countless dizzying heights, but none so giddy as being included in the closing credits of what is set to become the top-grossing movie of all time.

Mike and his colleague Cian O’Driscoll are included in the credit roll of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in recognition of their contribution to keeping the film crew safe while working on one of the most vertiginous movie sets: Skellig Michael.
