Mairad N Mhaonaigh
Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh has visited all four corners of the globe over the past thirty-five years with Irish folk music band Altan.
At times, holidays back in West Donegal were less frequent than she would have liked due to a busy touring calendar.

However, since the outbreak of the pandemic last March Mairéad has spent all her time in Donegal with her daughter Nia (17) and calls to see her ninety-three-year mother Kitty every day.
“I’ve been home nearly a full year and I’m really enjoying it. We’re so lucky to be living in Donegal. Okay, there’s a 5k restriction in place at the moment but that isn’t really a restriction in most parts of the county,” she said.
