Congratulations to Garry Keane and Jamie D'Alton/Motive Television on their nominations in this year's IFTAs! 'Toughest Place To Be...', produced by Jamie D'Alton's Motive production company and directed by Garry, has been nominated in the Reality category. If that weren't enough, Garry gets another nod in the newly introduced Specialist Factual category as the director of 'Bypassed'.
The nominations have been shortlisted by Members of the Irish Academy along with Irish and international Jury panels of industry experts. The winners will be announced at the Double Tree Hotel in Dublin on Friday, 7th October 2016.
Great work guys, and don't forget to bring you awards with you for the screening of 'Toughest Place To Be...' in Allingham 2016!
We were delighted to hear poet Mick Delap on tonight's RTÉ Poetry Programme reading from his latest collection 'Opening Time', and discussing his love of sailing, amongst other things. Mick will be joining us in Ballyshannon for a reading on Friday November 4th, and if his contribution to the Poetry Programme is anything to go by, this is one definitely not to be missed! In fact this will be a homecoming of sorts for Mick as he is descended from the Delaps of Ballyshannon, whose estate used to include the area now occupied by Dicey Reilly's.
