If you ever need to feel the sunshine in Achill, visit Miriam. She's a salt of the earth Dub who came from Crumlin to reconnect with the Irish language. She sold up her business and found a derelict house in the Wild West that she breathed life into once again.

Part of her day to day now is doing a bit of community outreach. She acts like a point of contact for anyone who might be feeling a bit lonely or isolated (which I imagine could be a lot of folk in the summer months).

When she's not out chatting, she's utilizing every second of her life. Learning guitar, painting, making glass works, and generally just being a total sounder.
