156/365: Barry Coyle, Co. Cavan

156/365: Barry Coyle, Co. Cavan

Barry left Dublin for Cavan, and is living a lot of people’s dream. During the pandemic things got a little noisy in their apartment in Portobello. Yvonne, Barry’s wife, lost her mum, and she felt the need to live a little closer to where she came from, Cavan.  They now have all the space in the world, not to mention peace and quiet. Ever keen to keep busy and integrate into his new community, Barry has transformed a derelict old creamery into a workshop for his fledgling business. Inside, he restores old furniture and creates new bespoke pieces. Rx Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

155/365: Stevie Darcy, Crumlin, Dublin

Stevie is a new Dad and is taking stock on all that means and how his life and perspective has changed. While also taking us on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey with a story about his own Dad. What we leave with is a story of hope…and Star Wars.  Rx Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

154/365: Doris Hone, Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim

I’ve never met a woman like Doris before. She’s full of the chats and leads quite the adventurous life. She whipped around Mondello in a Ferrari in her 80s, and plans to abseil down Ireland’s tallest building to celebrate her 90th. She ran a B&B, a pub and worked as a nurse in England for the longest time (getting up to all sorts of antics).  Her creativity comes through in her glamour, her make up is divine and she recently trained as a nail technician and home is her very own gallery, with lots of her artworks adorning the walls.  Rx Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

153/365: Naomhán Dowling, Sandycove, Dublin

Naomhán is a dapper gent, sporting a brand new hat for this occasion. When I go to meet him down in Sandycove, he’s surrounded by friends of every generation, all having a great aul chat. He comes here every day for a swim. He’s been swimming all of his life, taking after his Mam who also swam every day right up until her 80s.  Naomhán has led a full life, with children and grandchildren, moves to Wales and London and back again, but I feel he’s being quite modest when we talk about his career achievements. He’ll barely mention that he was the one responsible for bringing the gas pipeline to Dublin! He says he can hardly remember these things now, but I bet if we had a cup of tea and a cosy afternoon he’d tell me it all.  Rx Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

152/365: Daragh Fleming, Sandymount, Dublin

Daragh was lucky enough to have a relationship with all of his four grandparents growing up and I think that could be the reason why he’s got such a mature head on his shoulders. At just 31, he seems to have life sussed. He’s grounded, rooted and sound.  His poetry and writing is centred around the need for connection, representation and the human experience.  Daragh is also the current “Cork Person of the Month”.
