He has become a key figure in shaping the world's perception of Ireland and its diaspora. We are thrilled and honoured to be working so closely with him and so many of his collaborators in presenting this season focusing on the highlights of his career”, commented IFI Director Sarah Glennie after the announcement of the season.
