The Talking Derry Girls caught up with Caoilfhionn prior to the red carpet premiere in Belfast.

For How to Get to Heaven from Belfast she plays Dara, one of the leads, friend of Robyn and Saoirse. She is the live-in carer for her mum.

She is gay but suffocated by her Catholicism. All in all she's a hot mess of friendship, faith and fear! (All similarities to the Talking Derry Girls are purely coincidental!)

Fancy a bit of craic?! Jeanie, Marie-Louise and Pauline love the Channel 4 sit-com, Derry Girls, based in their home city. We thought it would be fun to rewatch the series, and chat about each episode in detail. You don’t have to be from Derry or even a girl. Being a Derry Girl is a state of mind. Come on in!
