An old man tells the story of how he learnt Irish and his first encounter with The Bicycle Man . The Bicycle Man is set in the early years of the twentieth century when dedicated members of Conradh na Gaeilge visited the schools in remote country districts, telling stories in Irish to the children in the hope that the language might not disappear. Irish was not on the official school curriculum. Martin Dempsey plays one such Fear an Rothair .
The storyteller is Seán Ó Briain played by Seamus Healy with Vincent Mac Thomáis playing Seán as a boy. Master Hannigan is played by Jim Mooney with Martin Dempsey as The Bicycle Man .
Cork South-Central: 4 seats
Taoiseach Micheál Martin is a youthful 60 but, if he stands down as Fianna Fáil leader during this term, then attention turns to whether he runs again. There’s no shortage of family members to fill his boots but passing the seat won’t be easy. Fianna Fáil Finance Minister Michael McGrath will be strong again. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin have a guaranteed seat, so the second Fianna Fáil seat is the only question. Sinn Féin’s Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire will have a running mate in Carrigaline. Fine Gael’s Simon Coveney will have to manage the vote vastly better to bring in Senator Jerry Buttimer.
