Fergus Finlay: We must call out men who use power to bully and control women

Actor Clare Dunne in a scene from 'Herself', a movie about a young mother who is viciously abused by her husband.

We watched a great little Irish movie on the telly the other night. Called Herself, it’s a movie full of hope and ambition, recovery and friendship. It’s got great acting, especially by “herself”, an actress named Clare Dunne whom nobody has seen enough of. She co-wrote the movie as well.

If I sound a bit like her agent, I’m not. I’ve never met her but can’t wait to see her in other stuff. (I do know one of the other actors in the movie. He’s a young pal of mine with an intellectual disability called Daniel Ryan, and he effortlessly steals every scene he’s in!) By the way, the movie will be on the RTÉ Player for another month. If you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance!
