Broadcaster Rick O’Shea is National Patron of Epilepsy Ireland .
He writes:
Ever listen to Kermode & Mayo’s Film Review? I heard this story as it went out. I’ll let Peter from Epilepsy Ireland tell you:
“Hoping you can help with a rather odd request! A few weeks back, someone called ‘Shenac/Sheenagh/Sean’ A.C. from Dublin wrote an email to the BBC Radio Film Review show and it was read out on air. Listen in here
Since then, we’ve been contacted by a film crew who want to make ‘Shenac/Sheenagh/Sean A.C.’s dream of making a horror film come true. It seems like a genuine offer. Problem is that we can’t identify who it is and BBC have deleted the email now. We’ve been in touch with all the paediatric services here in Dublin without any joy.
All we know is that they are from Dublin, 13 years old, have had temporal lobe epilepsy since birth, which worsened about 3 years ago. They also may have migraine and have missed a lot of school. We’d love their parents to get in touch with us.”
This ring bells for anyone?
Anyone?

Hello to Jason Isaacs.
Damn it – I nearly fell over myself getting here to say that.

I remember that. You need to contact the good Doctors again I’d and get them to ask on the podcast. It was a wonderful story.
Not one of those comments mean anything to me. Don’t even know why I’m commenting.
Bottom!
The person’s treating doctor, Colin Doherty, wrote in to the show the following week. He is a Consultant Neurologist in St James’s Hospital. May be worth checking in with them to see if they will ask the person to get in contact!
Thank you, Lisa! We’ll look into it :)
Have they tried checking the list of people on the cruise this year?
Had no idea there would be so many devotees to the church. We should arrange a Wittertainment piss up; bittertainment.
Kermode’s books are a great read.
The least they could do for this kid is bring him on that cruise they’re always going on about, it sounds unbelievable
