    Originally broadcast as a radio play, 'Grenades' won the RTÉ PJ O'Connor award in 2010. The radio version featured Tara Lynne O'Neill as Nuala and was produced by Aidan Matthews.

  • Achoimre

    Northern Ireland, 1979: Nuala Kelly takes no prisoners. A tough nine-year-old living with her mother, brother and grandfather, she thinks the class bully is just a big baby, and that all the nuns are cranky old wrinkled up cronies. She loves Thin Lizzy and The Undertones - just like her big brother, Oran. He’s fifteen and thinks he’s Casanova. Nuala thinks he’s more like Jesus; she’d do anything for him. But what she does one day for her brother, no-one could ever have imagined…

    Set in a prison ten years later, Grenades focusses on how Nuala must re-live the events of her childhood to finally make sense of them all.
