While looking through memorabilia for a family tree of the O Neill family of Waterfall, Castletownbere, a slim book of unpublished poems written by Fr Christopher O Neill was found. His grandmother Kate Hanley was a native of Ballinakilla, Bere island. The first poem in the book is simply called Bere Island. 

In this 15 minute video presentation the poems are read by his nephew Vincent O Neill, an actor and director of Buffalo, New York and by his grandniece, the Dublin actor Ashling O’ Neill.

Official opening: Saturday 21st at 11:30am.
