Series of short films produced for the National Museum of Ireland to accompany their exhibition on the Faddan More Psalter.
On July 20th 2006, a remarkable archaeological find was uncovered in a remote bog at Faddan More, in north Tipperary, close to the town of Birr. Local man Eddie Fogarty was cutting peat with a mechanical digger when he spotted something unusual that looked like some sort of book. It would be heralded by Dr. Pat Wallace, Director of Ireland's National Museum as “the most important day in the history of the Museum since 1868 when the Ardagh Chalice came in.”

1400 years ago Skellig Michael became home to a small group of men seeking religious solitude and isolation on one of the most extraordinary locations on earth. In this short documentary we take an audio visual journey through this island on the edge of the world and into the lives of the monks that came to inhabit it. We see the remarkable structures and steps they built and their unique way of life completely apart from the wider world.
While Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Skellig Beag is home to the second largest gannet colony in the world. Not only places of historical significance, the Skelligs' natural and rugged beauty play home to a variety of wildlife.
