Oil Painting, Lough Gill, Brendan McDonagh Killoran's Pub, TV Normal People
Vintage ItemSally Rooney’s 2018 second novel received numerous awards and was turned into a 12-part TV Show for the BBC. Our Oil Paintings were painted by Brendan McDonagh and hung in the Irish Pub which was uniquely filled with Antiques and once dubbed: A Museum with a Restaurant.” The Irish Pub was a critical part of the BBC TV program Normal People when the pair returned home to the make believe town of Carricklea, for the funeral of a school friend. Carricklea is depicted as the hometown of the main characters, Marianne and Connell, of County Sligo. Although Carricklea itself is not a real town, the TV show was actually filmed around the real town of Tubbercurry in County Sligo. The actual Irish Pub was owned by the married couple Tom and Annie Killoran who opened the pub in 1958 and made the quiet Irish pub into a very busy bar, restaurant and in the early 1970s. Ireland, 1970-1979.
