Irons plays role in Skibbereen’s Famine films
Oscar-winning Hollywood icon Jeremy Irons has given his time free of charge to help a heritage centre produce a series of short films detailing harrowing, true stories of the Great Famine in Skibbereen, Co Cork.
The actor, who owns a castle in the area, readily volunteered to help Skibbereen Heritage Centre in its quest to create 20 short films based on the true stories, which the centre had been researching for a number of years.
