Finding Brigid
On St Brigid’s Eve, as Ireland prepares to celebrate its first public holiday dedicated to a woman, Siobhán McSweeney, of Derry Girls’ fame, goes in search of the real Brigid. 1500 years after Brigid’s death, Siobhán unravels the tangled threads of fact and folklore, to reveal the truth about this elusive Goddess, Woman and Saint, and asks why, in an increasingly secular and diverse Ireland, Brigid's popularity appears to be on the rise.
