Mark Shields - Local Treasure
You've heard the phrase 'national treasure', well this week's guest is a local treasure named Mark Shields, who currently teaches English/Drama at St Patrick's Academy in Dungannon. Most national treasures are elderly but Mark is still (comparatively) young and has packed an awful lot into his life on the planet. Back in the nineties he was the captain of the Fianna GAA team. Later on, he became a different kind of player, treading the boards at various theatres, before going on to direct and even write plays. In this lively and entertaining conversation, Mark and Martin discuss the GAA, teaching and their shared love of literature.
