    Hi Scruff, glad you enjoyed it. We shot the film primarily in Raheny - St Assams for Maeve's house. Maywood/Bettyglen entrance, the Howth Road, St Anne's Park, outside the school. There was some houses in Sutton and Howth as well. Difficult to find properties that hadn't had the Celtic Tiger treatment, satellite dishes and conservatories etc.

    The girls school is a combination of two schools in Baldoyle and Sandymount. The Grove was in the school in Baldoyle.

    We shot a part of the film in Roscommon and Sligo as well.

    thanks tommy,
    i appreciate the info. it makes sense now. i remember delivering to that area (maywood and bettyglen) in the 80s and 90s. I didnt recognise the grove either. why didnt you use st pauls? cecil didnt change either. isnt it funny how he looked so old when i was young, yet he wasnt really that old at all! god knows what i look like to the kids of today now! by the way, my home would have been suitable, untouched by the celtic tiger and all thant!!! brilliant film, as ive already said, and i really liked that song at the start woman W O M A N iLL say it again.

    We were set to use St Pauls but that summer they replaced their roof and we had to find somewhere else. Cecil didn't change much no... he still looks the same and it was great to be able to use him. Glad you enjoyed it, means a lot to us.

    The song 'I'm a Woman' is an old Lieber and Stoller classic and we had Susan McKeown cover it together with our composer Gerry Leonard (an old Grover himself being from Clontarf) the backing musicians are stalwarts of David Bowie's band.
