On Monday 28th August, Seamus Murphy’s documentary THE PECULIAR SENSATION OF BEING PAT INGOLDSBY will be showing on RTÉ.

Pat Ingoldsby is a poet, playwright and polio survivor. This documentary builds up a portrait of Pat in his own words. Last year, we were honoured to be invited to the preview showing of the film. Macrina Clancy, our chair, along with Josie and Tom O’Reilly, went along and had a lovely evening at the Lighthouse Cinema. Pat himself was in attendance, and they all agreed the documentary was very touching and well worth watching!

We are delighted that the film will now be available for lots more people to watch. It will give people the opportunity to learn about Pat, his poetry and his life with polio. Don’t miss the chance to see it on RTÉ on Monday, after the evening news at 9.35pm.
