Eileen and Catherine Walsh grew up in Cork before moving to Dublin to pursue careers on stage and screen. On leaving school, older sister Catherine cried, saying “someone much better was coming” to fill her shoes – but as grown ups, both sisters hold each other in high professional regard and lean on each other for support in a tough industry. In this episode they talk about the influence of the Irish church on their childhood, their dad as a long-suffering theatre goer – and the craic to be had in a busy and fun family home.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
