Analysis: Ellen O Mara Sullivan was one of the team behind the Film Company of Ireland which was established in 1916
The story of Ellen O Mara Sullivan is intriguing and inspiring. Born in Limerick to a politically active family who ran a successful business, she was not a likely candidate for involvement in the film industry. Yet in March 1916, one month before the Easter Rising, she was part of the team that established the Film Company of Ireland, the first significant Irish fiction film company, and she went on to play a major role in the company until her untimely death in 1919.

Here are some lightly edited extracts from that discussion
