man and retired Ambassador to the USA & Great Britain, Daniel Mulhall.
The documentary, which also features Pierce Brosnan, will be released in Ireland on Saturday, April 26.
The film was partly shot in Waterford and celebrates everything that is great and Irish. It features a stellar cast offering their take on what’s quintessentially Irish, a veritable who’s who of Irish acting and political royalty led by Pierce Brosnan and three heads of state - President Michael D Higgins, President Joe Biden and HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. It was described as a “lush valentine to everything great and Irish” by the Mail.
As well as Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Mulhall, the cast includes Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons, Randal Plunkett, filmmaker and conservationist (aka Lord Dunsany), Prince Albert II of Monaco (discussing the Irish heritage of his mother the Oscar winning actress Grace Kelly), Bob Geldof, Andrew Scott, Siobhan McSweeney, President Michael D Higgins, Rory Guinness (great-great-great grandson of Guinness founder, Arthur Guinness), business tycoons John Magnier, Dr Michael Smurfit, Irish Times
columnist Fintan O’Toole, Grand National winning jockey Rachael Blackmore, trainer Aidan O’Brien, best-selling writer Emma Dabiri, Celebrity Masterchef winner Riyadh Khalaf, chef Anna Haugh, Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt and his agent Ricky Simms and more, including a cameo from musician Niall Horan.
It is the third film directed by Irishman Frank Mannion, after his acclaimed debut Sparkling: The Story of
Champagne featuring Stephen Fry and the hit Quintessentially British with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench.
Filmmaker Frank Mannion said: “I am delighted that Quintessentially Irish will be released in Ireland later this month It was important that Waterford was showcased on the big screen in this film. We have some beautiful aerial shots of Waterford including the coastline. Daniel Mulhall is a great modern-day ambassador for Waterford. The film also looks at the historic contribution of Waterford men, Thomas Francis Magher during the American Civil War and the Nobel Laureate Ernest Walton who first split the atom. Without Ernest Walton, there would have been no Oppenheimer!”
