Siobhán McSweeney is an actor from County Cork, Ireland, who now lives in London. She is perhaps best known as Sister Michael in Channel 4’s Derry Girls and more recently as the host on The Great Pottery Throw Down.
We had a lovely chat about the London-Irish experience, how Siobhán found her tribe, and about the huge gaps in the majority of British people’s knowledge of Ireland.
