WATCH: Limerick native acts as main character in the new RTÉ series

Faye Dorgan, 4 Feb

THE CAST of the new RTÉ TV series Blackshore have revealed their

thoughts and familiarities with the Mid-West ahead of the first

episode.

Actor Andrew Bennett (Donal Reilly) is from Limerick and says he has

known Killaloe "all his life" and that it is 'amazing'.

"I was born in Limerick city and lived in Crecora until I moved to

Dublin at around the age of 23. I went to the Crescent (College

Comprehensive) and while filming down here, met a driver who had been

in my class.

"I hadn't seen the man in 40 years and so, in the half hour drive into

Limerick city, he filled me in on all the gossip including the hurlers

and JP McManus!"

Protagonist Lisa Dwan (DI Fia Lucey) also said she has never filmed in

the Mid-west before but enjoyed the memories it brought her.

Blackshore begins tonight (Sunday, February 4) on RTÉ One at 9:35pm.
