    I was just watching "And God Created Woman".

    Does anyone know the name of the actress playing Sister Concepta?

    She gets a close up for a brief few moments and she is very familiar but she does not get named in the credits as she has no dialogue.

    Down with that sort of thing.

    I couldn't believe a Father Ted thread was ancient. It is the kind of topic that should be discussed not that Trump nonsense.

    Just the absurdity that this priest was actually a member of Ultravox. One of my favourite jokes on it. :D

    Sinéad Ó Connor went through several flavours of religion, not sure what she is now, but would have made a cracking storyline for Fr Ted.

    She's a few screwdrivers short of a toolbox, put it that way.

    There was a character based on her wasn’t there? Niamh Connolly who was in the Lovely Girls episode.

    The church in Ireland secretly had lots of potatoes during the famine, and they hid the potatoes in pillows and sold them abroad in potato fairs. And the Pope closed down a lot of the factories that were makin’ the potatoes and turned them into prisons for children.

    Yeah, seemed to be strongly based on Sinead with elements of Dolores O Riordan.

    That's a sentence that deserves giftwrapping, right there. :)

    "Clit Power. What does that mean?"

    "I knew a Father CLINT Power, maybe she's having a go at him..."

    Played by the stunning Clare Grogan from Altered Images.

    She was also in Gregory's Girl, possibly the best film to ever come out of Scotland (along with Trainspotting).

    She aged well, she's 57 in this photo.

    You can be dam sure they do, give me a mature attractive wise woman any day, they'ed be worldly, clever and funny...

    As for Fr Ted's...my gaff is a few fields over down the boreen,over a few bridges and near the mountain ahead of you...

    Lovely place, check out the green road's, rocky grykes and clints.
    Forts and turloughs.

    As you drive through Corofin, keep going towards the Kilfenora direction.
    You'll come to a rise on a hill.
    Theres an old post office called the expo center, swing right.
    Stay right and it'll Pop up on the left maybe 5 minutes down the road.

    You'll probably drive past a few 1987 and 89 Corolla's and Carina's they're still popular in North Clare.

    Watch out for the goats and don't stop for that lad who looks like something from Deliverance, he's harmless but he'll probably ask for a lift to the village ;)

    You could hardly do it now in the "be kind" era and the current litigious environment.

    I love hiking in Mullaghmore and gazing out at Fr Ted's from up on the hillside.
    There's always people posing outside for photos (myself included).
    Some day I will book and go for tea after my hike, I'm the only member of my family who hasn't done it. Despite being the chief Ted head (I live in another area now).
    It's been great for North Clare tourism and has put Kilnaboy on the map for more than archaeologists and historians. Proud to have deep roots in the area!

    Edit: My parents were shocked when it came out but now my mum loves Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the A*se best of all. :D
